The next generation of direct detection experiments not only will allow the reconstruction of the Particle Physics properties of Dark Matter (i.e. its mass and scattering cross section), but also the determination of its local velocity distribution. However, this measurement is hinder by the fact that direct detection experiments, being sensitive only above some energy threshold, do not probe...

DEAP-3600 is a single phase liquid argon (LAr) dark matter experiment. It is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, in Sudbury, Ontario. The detector has 1 tonne fiducial mass target of LAr. Construction of DEAP-3600 is nearly complete and commissioning will start in January 2015. The target sensitivity to spin-independent scattering of 100 GeV WIMPs is 10−46 cm2 which improves the current limits...
