Descripción

DARWIN (DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN) is an upcoming experiment designed to address the enigmatic nature of dark matter and neutrinos. With a 40-tonne liquid xenon sensitive target, DARWIN aims to explore the entire accessible parameter space down to the neutrino floor limitation for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Moreover, this low-background, low-threshold astroparticle observatory offers a broad physics program beyond dark matter searches. With its large active target, DARWIN can explore solar neutrinos, axion and axion-like particles, and neutrinoless double beta decay of ${}^{136}$Xe. The DARWIN project is supported by the XLZD consortium, which includes XENONnT and LZ collaborations. If realised within XLZD, the new design baseline, a 60-tonne liquid xenon sensitive target, will further enhance DARWIN’s sensitivity. In this talk, I will provide an overview of DARWIN, highlighting its scientific reach and key research and development efforts.
