Title
New Results and New Strategies in the Search for Dark Matter
Abstract
The nature of dark matter is one of the fundamental open questions in physics today. Direct detection experiments search for evidence of dark matter particle scattering in low-threshold, low-background terrestrial detectors. This endeavor has driven decades of new particle detector development at the low-energy frontier. This talk will review the current status of the field, present new results from searches using liquid argon as the dark matter target, and discuss the outlook for new experimental strategies in the search for dark matter.
