“The quest to elucidate the nature of dark matter and dark energy is at the heart of particle physics—the study of the basic constituents of nature...”
“An answer to the question [what is dark matter] would mark a major breakthrough in understanding the universe and would open an entirely new feld of research on its own.”
“an area of world leading science opportunity”“signifcant UK leadership”“UK involvement is essential”

Two phase vs single phase
no electric felds = straightforward scalability1) no pile-up from ms-scale electron drift in E2) no recombination in E (high photons/keVee) but no charge background discrimination either!
background discrimination from prompt scintillation timing...
high light yield and self-shielding of liquid noble target

Summary
• Science case for Direct Dark Matter detection is very strong and it is a vibrant and exciting feld of research
• DEAP-3600 is a very interesting technique promising to set a world limit and a vital step to the ‘ultimate’ size (non-directional) detector
