Description
The DARWIN experiment is a proposed next-generation dual-phase time
projection chamber which will operate 50 tonnes of xenon. With such a
large target, its low-energy threshold and ultra low background level,
it will be sensible enough to explore the entire experimentally
accessible parameter space for WIMPs above a mass of 5 GeV/c2, as well
as to search for axions and axion-like particles. It will be capable to
measure low energy solar neutrinos flux with a high precision, observe
the coherent neutrino-nucleus interaction and detect galactic
supernovae. Finally it has great potential to discover neutrinoless
double beta decay of 136Xe. We present here the ongoing R&D activities
and the sensitivity for the different physics channels.
