Description
The large difference between the time constants of the two scintillation pulse com-
ponents of a noble liquid like liquid Argon or Neon provide a very reliable correlation
between pulse shape and type of event. This pulse shape discrimination already pro-
vides the power of rejecting a background $10^{8}-10^{9}$ times larger than the signal. A 400
kg LAr detector, MiniCLEAN, is currently under construction, and a 3.6 ton detector,
DEAP-3600, under development. The pro jected sensitivities of these two Dark Matter
detectors are illustrated. As the DEAP/CLEAN program is also for p-p solar neu-
trino detection, the sensitivity to these neutrinos expected from future larger upgrades
loaded with liquid Neon is also discussed.
