Description
The DARWIN observatory is a proposed next-generation direct Dark Matter search experiment. Out of its 50t total natural xenon inventory, 40t will be inside a dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC). With its unprecedented sensitivity for WIMPs down to the so-called neutrino floor, DARWIN will also serve as an observatory for rare processes such as the search for neutrinoless double beta decay, for axions and axion-like particles as well as interactions of solar neutrinos.
In this talk, we will present the general outline of DARWIN and its sensitivity in various science channels. We report on the ongoing optimisation of the setup as well as on R&D to test large scale detector components.
