Abstract

DarkSide-20k is a background-free experiment under construction at INFN, Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Its purpose is to directly detect Dark Matter particles exploiting WIMP-nucleon scattering in liquid argon. The detector incorporates an innovative gadolinium-doped veto to identify neutron interactions, which takes advantage of liquid argon scintillation. The optimal placement of the photodetectors in the veto made possible to obtain a non-uniformity of the light collection of 3% at 1σ.
