We examine the sensitivity of a large scale two-phase liquid argon detector to the directionality of the dark matter signal. This study was performed under the assumption that, above 50 keV of recoil energy, one can determine (with some resolution) the direction of the recoil nucleus without head-tail discrimination, as suggested by past...

The DarkSide project at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is a dark matter direct search experiment based on the detection of rare nuclear recoils possibly induced by hypothetical dark matter particles, which are supposed to be neutral, massive (> 10 GeV) and weakly interact- ing (WIMP). DarkSide aims to perform background-free WIMP...
