Abstract

DarkSide-20k is a background-free experiment under construction at INFN, Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. It aims to directly detect Dark Matter particles exploiting WIMP-nucleon scattering in liquid argon. In order to identify neutron interactions, a gadolinium-doped veto was developed, which takes advantage of liquid argon scintillation. Studying the optimal placement of the photodetectors in the veto, the non-uniformity of the light collection was simulated to be 3% at 1σ.
