DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cristiano Galbiati (Princeton University)\nExperimen
 ters from four different argon dark matter searches have joined their forc
 es in the the “Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration” to carry out a 
 unified program for dark matter direct detection.\n	The next step at the s
 cale of a few tens of tonnes is the DarkSide-20k experiment\, a 20-tonne f
 iducial volume dual-phase TPC to be operated at LNGS with an underground a
 rgon fill\, designed to collect an exposure of 100 tonne×years\, complete
 ly free of neutron-induced nuclear recoil background and all electron reco
 il background.  DarkSide-20k is set to start operating by 2023 and will ha
 ve sensitivity to WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross sections of 7.4×10
 −48 cm2 for WIMPs of 1 TeV/c2 mass\, to be achieved during a 10 year run
  with an exposure of 200 tonne×years.  DarkSide-20k will explore the WIMP
 -nucleon cross-section down to the edge of the ’neutrino floor’\, wher
 e coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering from environmental neutrinos induce
  nuclear recoils in the detector.\n	A second step in the program is the co
 nstruction and operation of Argo\, a detector with a fiducial mass of a fe
 w hundred tonnes\, capable of collecting an exposure of several thousands 
 of tonne×years\, completely free of all backgrounds on top of CNNS\, slat
 ed for a 2030 start.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event/259/contri
