DARWIN forecasted sensitivities — •Maike Doerenkamp — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg

DARWIN, as a proposed next generation xenon based direct detection experiment, aims to explore new parameter-space of WIMP-nucleon interactions through nuclear recoil, all the way to neutrino dominated regimes. This requires extensive simulation of detector parameters and their impact on detection efficiencies, as well as a good understanding of relevant backgrounds and their mitigation strategies. This talk gives an overview of the used methods and obtained sensitivity estimates for the DARWIN observatory.
