Abstract

Here, DarkSide (DS) at Gran Sasso underground laboratory is a direct Dark Matter search program based on Time Projection Chambers (TPC) with liquid Argon from underground sources. The DarkSide-50 (DS-50) TPC, with 150 kg of Argon is installed inside active neutron and muon detectors. DS-50 has been taking data since November 2013 with Atmospheric Argon (AAr) and since April 2015 with Underground Argon (UAr), depleted in radioactive 39Ar by a factor ~1400. The exposure of 1422 kg d of AAr has demonstrated that the operation of DS-50 for three years in a background free condition is a solid reality, thanks to the superb performance of the Pulse Shape Analysis. The first release of results from an exposure of 2616 kg d of UAr has shown no candidate Dark Matter events. We have set the best limit for Spin-Independent elastic nuclear scattering of WIMPs obtained by Argon-based detectors, corresponding to a cross-section of 2 10–44 cm2 at a WIMP mass of 100 GeV. We present the detector design and performance, the results from the AAr run and the first results from the UAr run and we briefly introduce the future of the DarkSide program.
暗面物理项目及其最新成果
这里,格兰萨索地下实验室的DarkSide (DS)是一个直接的暗物质搜索项目,它基于时间投影室(TPC),使用来自地下的液态氩气。DarkSide-50 (DS-50) TPC装有150公斤氩气,安装在有源中子和介子探测器内。自2013年11月以来,DS-50一直在使用大气氩(AAr)和2015年4月以来使用地下氩(UAr)进行数据采集,放射性39Ar的损耗约为1400倍。由于脉冲形状分析的出色表现,1422 kg d的AAr暴露表明DS-50在无背景条件下运行了三年是一个坚实的现实。首次公布的2616千克/天的UAr暴露结果没有显示出候选的暗物质事件。我们设定了由氩基探测器获得的WIMP的自旋无关弹性核散射的最佳极限,对应于WIMP质量为100 GeV时的2 10-44 cm2的横截面。我们介绍了探测器的设计和性能,AAr运行的结果和UAr运行的初步结果,并简要介绍了DarkSide计划的未来。
