Description
The DARWIN experiment is a proposed next-generation multi-purpose dark matter observatory. This dual-phase Time Projection Chamber will comprise a 50 tonne liquid xenon target, allowing to probe the experimentally accessible parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in a wide mass range until neutrino interactions with the target become an irreducible background. With a low-energy threshold and an ultra-low background level, the observatory will also be sensitive to other physics channels, such as searches for axion-like particles and neutrinoless double-beta decay of $^{136}$Xe. It will also allow for high-precision measurements of low-energy solar neutrinos, galactic supernova detection and neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering observation. We discuss here the concept of DARWIN, the ongoing R&D and the sensitivity for the different physics channels.
