Description
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (TPC) are promising detectors for dark matter search due to their response uniformity, scalability to large target masses, and suitability for extremely low background operations. The DarkSide-20k experiment is a new dark matter detector under construction at Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) that aims to push the sensitivity for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) detection into the neutrino fog. The core of the apparatus is a dual-phase TPC, serving both as WIMP target and detector, filled and surrounded by low-radioactivity Underground Argon (UAr). Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) NUV-HD Cryo Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM)s have been selected as the photon sensors of choice to instrument the two
