Description
Liquid argon, with its relatively light atomic mass and low energy
threshold in the ionisation channel, has proven to be a promising
target medium for the direct detection of dark matter candidates with
masses below 10 GeV/c².
The Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration (GADMC) is currently
constructing the DarkSide-20k detector, which is primarily focused on
high mass WIMP detection. We propose a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass,
building on the experience from DarkSide-50 and the ongoing
development of DarkSide-20k. DarkSide-LowMass is specifically
optimised for low-threshold, electron-counting measurements, and its
sensitivity to light dark matter is explored under various energy
thresholds and background conditions.
In this talk, I will present the latest developments in the search for
low-mass dark matter using the proposed DarkSide-LowMass detector,
along with recent sensitivity studies for light dark matter detection
with DarkSide-20k.
