Description
DEAP-3600 is a single phase dark matter direct detection experiment at SNOLAB, Ontario, Canada. DEAP-3600 has been designed to achieve extremely low background rates, including those from 39Ar β decays, neutron scatters, and surface α contamination, with the goal of measuring the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section down to 1E−46 cm^2 for a 100 GeV WIMP. An overview of the experiment will be presented with updates on the current status of calibration and data taking.
