Directional dark matter detection sensitivity of a two-phase liquid argon detector

M. Cadeddu, M. Lissia, P. Agnes +38

We examine the sensitivity of a large scale two-phase liquid argon detector to the directionality of the dark matter signal. This study was performed under the assumption that, abo…

Results from the first use of low radioactivity argon in a dark matter search

The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, L. Agostino +158

Liquid argon is a bright scintillator with potent particle identification properties, making it an attractive target for direct-detection dark matter searches. The DarkSide-50 dark…
