The DEAP-3600 Detector and Recent Developments at SNOLAB
Abstract: The DEAP-3600 single-phase liquid-argon dark matter detector is under construction at SNOLAB. The fundamental goal of the design is to increase the volume of the detector while having the liquid argon contact the smallest possible surface comprising only clean acrylic and wavelength shifter.

How to Know the Universe from a Hole in the Ground
Abstract: We understand the history of our universe very well but remain ignorant on one key question: what is most of the universe actually made of?

The DEAP Dark-Matter Search Program
Abstract: The DEAP/CLEAN collaboration will be constructing a 3600-kg single-phase liquid-argon dark matter detector at SNOLAB with sensitivity to 10-46 cm2 for a 100 GeV WIMP. We are currently operating a 7-kg liquid-argon detector (DEAP-1) at SNOLAB. Using DEAP-1 we have made measurements of alpha surface a... read more
