Description
The quest for detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), considered as prominent candidates for dark matter, has been ongoing for several decades. This presentation will provide an overview of the current progress in major searches conducted using experiments aimed at detecting both high-mass and low-mass (<10 GeV) WIMPs. The discussion will also cover existing technological constraints and future possibilities for overcoming these limitations in upcoming dark matter exploration, particularly focusing on next-generation liquid argon detectors.
