Description

DarkSide-20k is a novel dark matter detector that will use a dual-phase time projection chamber with 20 tonnes of liquid argon to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. As part of the data acquisition system, pulse-level information is monitored online. In this talk, I will share how correlated pulses from the liquid and gas phases can be used to monitor the argon-39 background in the detector.
