Description

报告摘要:

Experimenters from four different argon dark matter searches have joined their forces in the "Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration" to carry out a unified program for dark matter direct detection. The participants are researchers currently working on the ArDM experiment at LSC; on the DarkSide-50 experiment at LNGS; on the DEAP-3600 m experiment at SNOLab; and on the MiniCLEAN m experiment at SNOLab. Researchers from the four experiments will jointly carry out as the single next step at the scale of a few tens of tonnes the DarkSide-20k experiment. DarkSide-20k was approved in 2017 by the Italian INFN, by the host laboratory LNGS, and by the US NSF. DarkSide-20k is also officially and jointly supported by the three underground laboratories LNGS, LSC, and SNOLab. DarkSide-20k is a 20-tonne fiducial volume dual-phase TPC to be operated at LNGS with an underground argon fill, designed to collect an exposure of 100 tonne years, completely free of neutron-induced nuclear recoil background and all electron recoil background.

 

报告人简介:

Prof. Galbiati received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Milan in 1999. After completing his doctorate, Prof. Galbiati joined Princeton University to continue his research, and in 2002, he was appointed as an assistant professor. In 2010, he was promoted to associate professor with tenure, and achieved the title of full professor with tenure in 2014. Since 2018, he has also held the position of full professor at the Gran Sasso Science Institute in Italy.

Prof. Galbiati has dedicated his career to neutrino and dark matter experiments. In 2008, he initiated a direct dark matter search project known as DarkSide, where he assumed the role of spokesperson and continues to lead the project to this day. In 2017, his efforts led to the establishment of the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration, aimed at enhancing the current stage experiment known as DarkSide-20k.
