SUMMARY:Notes from Underground: Direct Dark Matter Searches and Single
  Phase Liquid Argon Detectors\, Faculty Candidate Seminar\, Kim Pallad
 ino\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Evidence for the existence of Dark Matter from astronomica
 l observations abounds\, while experimentalists are still in pursuit o
 f a confirmed laboratory 'direct' detection.  Currently in the dark ma
 tter field\, contradictory experimental results of allowed signal regi
 ons and excluding upper limits exist and new experiments will be comin
 g online in the near future to shed light on the matter. MiniCLEAN and
  DEAP-3600 are liquid argon experiments for the direct detection of da
 rk matter under construction at SNOLAB\, located 6800 feet underground
  in an active nickel mine in Sudbury\, Ontario. The implications of th
 eir unique design will be discussed in the context of the wider search
  for dark matter.
