Description

The innovative Underground Argon (UAr) Production is part, and a fundamental pillar of the Argon Dark Matter search program, led by the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration (GADMC). The aims of the UAr Production is to achieve the procurement of large amounts of low-radioactive UAr, which will be firstly used by the DarkSide-20k experiment. The UAr Production is composed by three projects which are currently in development, and specifically; the Urania project, for the extraction of the argon from underground source, the Aria project for the purification of the detector target mass, and the DArT project for the characterisation of it. In this talk, we will discuss the status of the 3 mentioned projects, and their latest results.
