DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Grzegorz Zuzel (Institute of Physics\, Jagiellonian 
 University)\nThe main purpose of the DarkSide project carried out at the G
 ran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy is direct detection of Dark Matt
 er particles (WIMPs). The Dark Matter search program is based on Time Proj
 ection Chambers filled with liquid Argon. The DarkSide-50 TPC\, with 50 kg
  of active mass\, is installed inside active neutron and muon detectors. D
 arkSide-50 has been taking data since 2013 with Atmospheric Argon (AAr) an
 d since April 2015 with Underground Argon (UAr)\, depleted in 39Ar by a fa
 ctor of about 1400. The run with AAr has demonstrated the ability of the d
 etector for three years operation in a background free condition. The resu
 lt obtained with UAr has shown no candidate for Dark Matter events\, thus 
 we were able to set the best limit for Spin-Independent elastic nuclear sc
 attering of WIMPs for Argon-based detectors\, corresponding to a cross-sec
 tion of about 2x10−44 cm2 at a WIMP mass of 100 GeV.  The detector desig
 n\, its performance and the physics results will be discussed. The future 
 of the DarkSide experiment will be introduced.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.
