Oral presentation in parallel session
To further increase the WIMP discovery potential, the XENON collaboration is building the XENONnT detector with a target xenon mass of about 8 ton. The large target mass combined with an approximately $10\times$ lower background than in its predecessor XENON1T, will increase the sensitivity by an order of magnitude to $2\cdot 10^{-48}\mbox{cm}^2$ for a spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross...

Oral presentation in parallel session
The DarkSide-50 apparatus is a dual phase Liquid Argon TPC, filled with low-radioactivity underground Argon and installed at the Laboratory Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of INFN. In this presentation we will present the results of an analysis, dedicated to the search of WIMPs with masses below 20 GeV/c^2, that uses solely the ionisation signal for which DarkSide-50 is fully efficient...

Oral presentation in parallel session
The nature and origin of Dark Matter are among the most compelling mysteries of contemporary science. For over three decades, physicists have been trying to detect Dark Matter particles via collisions on target nuclei, with little success.
The LZ collaboration is building a massive Dark Matter detector, which is currently being installed at the 4850 level of the Sanford Underground Research...

Oral presentation in parallel session
The PICO 2L and PICO 60 bubble chambers have advanced the sensitivity of searches for spin dependent dark matter interactions significantly in recent years. The second data set from the PICO 60 detector was analyzed using new calibration data. The new data also includes operation at lower thresholds that enhance the parameter space for PICO towards lower dark matter mass. PICO 60 was...

Oral presentation in parallel session
The PandaX is a series xenon-based experiments searching for dark matter candidates in the China Jinping underground Laboratory (CJPL). PandaX-II, with a 580-kg liquid xenon TPC, has recently finished its data taking, with a total exposure of more than 400 live-day. In this talk, I will present an overview of the project and discuss the recent results from PandaX-II.
