Description
DarkSide uses a dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers to search for WIMP dark matter. The talk will present the latest result from the current experiment, DarkSide-50, running since mid 2015 a 50-kg-active-mass TPC, filled with argon from an underground source measured to contain lower Ar-39, the largest source of background, than atmospheric argon by a factor of >1000.
