DEAP-3600 Recent Dark Matter Results
Abstract
The DEAP-3600 experiment is searching for WIMP dark matter with a 3.3 tonne single phase liquid argon (LAr) target, located at SNOLAB. The construction and filling of DEAP-3600 was completed in 2016, and the experiment is currently taking physics data. First results were recently published, which demonstrated stable detector operations and the power of pulse shape discrimination to reject electron-recoil backgrounds in LAr. In addition, the most sensitive WIMP exclusion with a LAr target was achieved at the time of publication.
