Claudio Savarese Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI)

13th Rencontres du Vietnam Exploring the Dark Universe The DarkSide program: an overview

DarkSide-20k DarkSide-10 DarkSide-50 • Scientific target: probe SI WIMP- nucleon interaction cross sections up to ~10-47cm2@1TeV/c2.

• Type of detectors: double-phase Time Projection Operation: Operation: Operation: 2021 - >2026. Chambers. 8 months 2013-ongoing. since 2011. Use of 23t(20t) • Appealing feature: Used UAr of UAr.

EDU2017 2 28 - 7 - 17 Location: LNGS, Italy

• Natural shield of 1400m of rock (3800 m.w.e.) from cosmic rays. Muon flux suppression factor: 106.

• ~103 reduction in neutron flux with respect to surface due to low U and Th content in dolomite rock.

• Direct access to the labs from 3800m.w.e.

the highway. ⇔ 1400m of rock

EDU2017 3 28 - 7 - 17 Dual phase TPC: concept

• A NR induces a first S1 scintillation pulse (S1) and ionizes Ar.

χ • Electrons are drifted S1 by the E field to the LAr surface.

• A further field extracts the e-, causing a second and brighter light pulse S2 (electroluminescence). XY Reconstruction Introduction S1 S2 S2 • Δt among S1 and S2 - e e- gives the Z coordinate.

e- Drift Time •e- XY position is reconstructed looking S2 light fraction 23 at the distribution of S2 photons on the PMTs.

EDU2017 4 28 - 7 - 17 Fighting Background

Observables in LAr • ER: � and ɣ Backgrounds • NR: neutrons, neutrinos, WIMPs

1.Active shielding: • Muon Veto (Water Cherenkov Detector) • Neutron Veto (Liquid Scintillator)

2.Passive suppression: • Low radioactive materials • Isotopically depleted Argon • Low radioactive light-detectors

3.Identification: • Multiple scattering within TPC • Surface events (position reconstruction) • ER/NR discrimination via S2/S1 • ER/NR discrimination using PSD

EDU2017 5 28 - 7 - 17 Suppression: AAr Vs UAr

Strongest background for Ar based experiments is 39Ar induced ER.

AAr~1Bq/kg UAr=(0.73±0.11)mBq/kg

Argon extracted from an underground gas mine in Colorado has an 39Ar activity 1400 times lower than Atmospheric Ar.

EDU2017 6 28 - 7 - 17 ER/NR Discrimination

LAr scintillation light has 2 decay times: �fast=7ns, �slow=1600ns Discriminating variable:

In DS-50 90ns is the optimal time window to optimize PSD. PLB 743, 456 (2015) 1422 kg·d AAr exposure No NR observed

EDU2017 9 28 - 7 - 17 Scaling up: DarkSide-20k

• Next generation detector aims to reach a sensitivity 1047cm2@1TeV/c2 with 100 ton·yr of exposure.

• A target of 23ton (20ton of fiducial volume) is foreseen.

• A radical upgrade of all the systems is needed to achieve the (reducible) background free condition for such an exposure: 1. New and bigger veto systems (WCD and LVD). 2. Ultra-clean stain-less steel/ titanium for cryostat. 3. Underground Argon, possibly x400 = further depleted. 4. New, radio-pure light DS-50 detectors: Silicon PhotoMultipliers (~13m2). DS-20k

EDU2017 26 28 - 7 - 17 Conclusions

• DS-20k aims to probe the spin- independent WIMP-nucleon cross section up to 10-47cm2@1TeV/c2.

• The background-free mode will allow to claim a hypothetical discovery of DM with a low number of NR events.

• Many technological challenges.

• SiPMs have come to represent a viable alternative with respect to PMTs.

• SiPM-based light detectors as the one presented can be used in a variety of other experiments (DM,ν,cosmic rays…).
