Description

The DEAP-3600 experiment is a direct dark matter search located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, Canada. It employs a spherical acrylic vessel capable of holding 3600 kg of liquid argon (LAr) target surrounded by a water Cherenkov veto system. Recent analyses has produced an updated exclusion limit on WIMP dark matter search using a Profile Likelihood Ratio (PLR) method. In addition, the DEAP-3600 experiment is sensitive to solar neutrino signals, achieving the first measurement of solar neutrino interactions in LAr. A measurement of the cosmic-ray muon flux is performed at the DEAP-3600 site using events identified in the water tank along with the coincidence signals between the water tank and inner LAr detector. Following recent hardware upgrades, the experiment is set to commence its fourth phase of data collection.
