Models of dark matter beyond the standard weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) paradigm predict new scalar dark matter particle candidates. The aim of this project is to search for dark matter candidates predicted in hidden sector models in the DEAP-3600 dark matter direct detection experiment. DEAP-3600 is a liquid Argon dark matter detector operating in the SNOLAB underground laboratory, which will accumulate an exposure of 3000 kg-years. This project will use this dataset in DEAP-3600 to search for signals of dark matter in both nuclear recoil and electronic recoil channels, with emphasis on new particle candidates beyond the WIMP paradigm.

超越标准弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMP）范式的暗物质模型预测了新的标量暗物质粒子候选者。该项目的目的是在DEAP-3600暗物质直接探测实验中寻找暗物质候选者。DEAP-3600是一个在SNOLAB地下实验室运行的液态氩暗物质探测器，它将积累3000千克-年的曝光量。该项目将在DEAP-3600中使用该数据集在核反冲和电子反冲通道中搜索暗物质的信号，重点是WIMP范式之外的新粒子候选者。
