GEMINI is an underground research and development facility dedicated to advancing seismic isolation and control technologies for future gravitational-wave observatories, including the Einstein Telescope (ET) and the Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna (LGWA). This paper presents the technical design and theoretical framework of GEMINI’s active seismic-isolation platforms, including detailed noise budget analyses, performance predictions, and residual platform-motion evaluations. The GEMINI platforms are designed to achieve unprecedented vibration isolation, targeting motion suppression across the 10 mHz to 10 Hz frequency band, with particular emphasis on the low-frequency regime below a few hertz relevant for ET-LF (low-frequency detector) and LGWA, and with the goal to make them the quietest platforms of their kind. In the context of ET, GEMINI will enable the development and validation of inter-platform control strategies essential for the stabilization of auxiliary degrees of freedom of its interferometers. GEMINI will also support the testing of cryogenic payloads and ultra-sensitive inertial sensors required for LGWA. By integrating advanced cryogenic systems, precision inertial sensors, and state-of-the-art vibration isolation technologies, GEMINI will serve as a versatile testbed for next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors and lunar seismometry missions.

Procedia Structural Integrity, 2026
In recent decades, the field of fundamental physics has witnessed a significant shift toward large-scale, highly engineered experimental setups. The increasing sensitivity required to probe rare events—such as dark matter interactions—has driven the design and construction of detectors with unprecedented volumes, often involving hundreds of tons of cryogenic liquids and massive infrastructures. This trend reflects not only the evolving scientific goals but also the indispensable role of advanced structural, and thermo-mechanical engineering in supporting these ambitious experiments. At sites like the Gran Sasso Laboratory — situated in a region with significant seismogenic potential - seismic resilience becomes a fundamental requirement. The DarkSide program, with its transition from DarkSide-50 to the thousand-fold larger DarkSide-20k, exemplifies the close interplay between fundamental physics objectives and advanced engineering. Its detector, housed within meticulously designed cryostats and supported by complex infrastructures, stands as a benchmark for how modern physics experiments rely on engineering to probe the deepest questions of the Universe. This paper details the structural engineering solutions developed for DarkSide-20k, covering the design strategies, advanced numerical modelling, and on-site implementation supporting the experimental infrastructure.

The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a $${21}\\,\\hbox {m}^{2}$$ 21 m 2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC). SiPMs are arranged into modular photosensors called Tiles , each integrating 24 SiPMs onto a printed circuit board (PCB) that provides signal amplification, power distribution, and a single-ended output for simplified readout. $$16$$ 16 Tiles are further grouped into Photo-Detector Units (PDUs). This paper details the production of the Tiles and the Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA-QC) protocol established to ensure their performance and uniformity. The production and QA-QC of the Tiles are carried out at Nuova Officina Assergi (NOA), an ISO-6 clean room facility at LNGS. This process includes wafer-level cryogenic characterisation, precision die attaching, wire bonding, and extensive electrical and optical validation of each Tile. The overall production yield exceeds 83.5%, matching the requirements of the DarkSide-20k production plan. These results validate the robustness of the Tile design and its suitability for operation in a cryogenic environment.

The DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, features a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with a ∼ 50 t argon target from an underground well. At this scale, it is crucial to optimise the argon flow pattern for efficient target purification and for fast distribution of internal gaseous calibration sources with lifetimes of the order of hours. To this end, we have performed computational fluid dynamics simulations and heat transfer calculations. The residence time distribution shows that the detector is well-mixed on time-scales of the turnover time (∼ 40 d). Notably, simulations show that despite a two-order-of-magnitude difference between the turnover time and the half-life of 83mKr of 1.83 h, source atoms have the highest probability to reach the centre of the TPC 13 min after their injection, allowing for a homogeneous distribution before undergoing radioactive decay. We further analyse the thermal aspects of dual-phase operation and define the requirements for the formation of a stable gas pocket on top of the liquid. We find a best-estimate value for the heat transfer rate at the liquid-gas interface of 62 W with an upper limit of 144 W and a minimum gas pocket inlet temperature of 89 K to avoid condensation on the acrylic anode. This study also informs the placement of liquid inlets and outlets in the TPC. The presented techniques are widely applicable to other large-scale, noble-liquid detectors.

DarkSide-20k is a novel liquid argon dark matter detector currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) that will push the sensitivity for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) detection into the neutrino fog. The core of the apparatus is a dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC), filled with 50 tonnes of low radioactivity underground argon (UAr) acting as the WIMP target. NUV-HD-cryo Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM)s designed by Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) (Trento, Italy) were selected as the photon sensors covering two $$10.5~\\text {m}^2$$ 10.5 m 2 Optical Planes, one at each end of the TPC, and a total of $$5~\\text {m}^2$$ 5 m 2 photosensitive surface for the liquid argon veto detectors. This paper describes the Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) plan and procedures accompanying the production of FBK NUV-HD-cryo SiPM wafers manufactured by LFoundry s.r.l. (Avezzano, AQ, Italy). SiPM characteristics are measured at 77 K at the wafer level with a custom-designed probe station. As of March 2025, 1314 of the 1400 production wafers (94% of the total) for DarkSide-20k were tested. The wafer yield is $$93.2\\pm 2.5$$ 93.2 ± 2.5 %, which exceeds the 80% specification defined in the original DarkSide-20k production plan.

DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ∼ 100 t of low radioactivity argon from an underground source (UAr) in its inner detector, with half serving as target in a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC). The UAr cryogenics system must maintain stable thermodynamic conditions throughout the experiment's lifetime of over 10 years. Continuous removal of impurities and radon from the UAr is essential for maximising signal yield and mitigating background. We are developing an efficient and powerful cryogenics system with a gas purification loop with a target circulation rate of 1000 slpm. Central to its design is a condenser operated with liquid nitrogen which is paired with a gas heat exchanger cascade, delivering a combined cooling power of more than 8 kW. Here we present the design choices in view of the DS-20k requirements, in particular the condenser's working principle and the cooling control, and we show test results obtained with a dedicated benchmarking platform at CERN and LNGS. We find that the thermal efficiency of the recirculation loop, defined in terms of nitrogen consumption per argon flow rate, is 95 % and the pressure in the test cryostat can be maintained within ±(0.1–0.2) mbar. We further detail a 5-day cool-down procedure of the test cryostat, maintaining a cooling rate typically within -2 K/h, as required for the DS-20k inner detector. Additionally, we assess the circuit's flow resistance, and the heat transfer capabilities of two heat exchanger geometries for argon phase change, used to provide gas for recirculation. We conclude by discussing how our findings influence the finalisation of the system design, including necessary modifications to meet requirements and ongoing testing activities.

The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV c−2. This was demonstrated by the DarkSide-50 experiment with approximately 50 kg of low-radioactivity liquid argon as target material. The next generation experiment DarkSide-20k, currently under construction, will use 1,000 times more argon and is expected to start operation in 2027. Based on the DarkSide-50 experience, here we assess the DarkSide-20k sensitivity to models predicting light dark matter particles, including Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) and sub-GeV c−2 particles interacting with electrons in argon atoms. With one year of data, a sensitivity improvement to dark matter interaction cross-sections by at least one order of magnitude with respect to DarkSide-50 is expected for all these models. A sensitivity to WIMP–nucleon interaction cross-sections below 1 × 10−42 cm2 is achievable for WIMP masses above 800 MeV c−2. With 10 years exposure, the neutrino fog can be reached for WIMP masses around 5 GeV c−2. The DarkSide-20k collaboration reports the sensitivity of its detector, currently under construction, to models predicting light dark matter particles. This includes Weakly Interacting Massive Particles and particles interacting with bound electrons of argon atoms.
Risk-based probabilistic assessment of a bridge collapse due to abutments scour. A case study

Transportation Geotechnics, 2024
Many bridges are constructed over waterways, exposing their support systems to scour caused by flowing water-induced bed shear stresses over time. This study focuses on analysing the local scour beneath an abutment, which led to the collapse of a poorly reinforced concrete bridge in Italy. The analysis investigates the causes of the collapse on the basis of a geotechnical characterisation of the subsoil foundation and mechanics characterisation of the abutment. By estimating the scour amplitude below the abutment, an advanced Finite Element fracture mechanics model was used to study the collapse of the bridge. The study makes it possible to assess the probability of collapse based on the scour width beneath the abutment and offer an approach to assess the safety of infrastructure. Finally, the results show that the empirical model for shear capacity is overly unconservative and sometimes unreliable in this special context. and therefore failure should be predicted from the fracture mechanics based on adopting appropriate reduction factors for shear capacity.

Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, neutrons interacting with atomic nuclei represent an important class of backgrounds due to the expected similarity of a WIMP-nucleon interaction, so that such experiments often feature a dedicated neutron detector surrounding the active target volume. In the context of the development of DarkSide-20k detector at INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), several R&D projects were conceived and developed for the creation of a new hybrid material rich in both hydrogen and gadolinium nuclei to be employed as an essential element of the neutron detector. Thanks to its very high cross-section for neutron capture, gadolinium is one of the most widely used elements in neutron detectors, while the hydrogen-rich material is instrumental in efficiently moderating the neutrons. In this paper results from one of the R&Ds are presented. In this effort the new hybrid material was obtained as a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix, loaded with gadolinium oxide in the form of nanoparticles. We describe its realization, including all phases of design, purification, construction, characterization, and determination of mechanical properties of the new material.
Modelling and Seismic Response Analysis of Existing URM Structures. Part: Archetypes of Italian Modern Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2024
Five existing unreinforced masonry buildings, built in different Italian cities in a relatively recent time frame, were selected to study the seismic behaviour of modern existing structures, not designed to withstand seismic actions. The buildings were modelled using an equivalent-frame approach, adopting, and comparing two nonlinear constitutive laws and introducing specific modelling strategies to represent the distinctive features of modern existing URM structures. Nonlinear static analyses were performed to determine capacity and multi-stripe time history analyses to evaluate displacement demand at increasing return periods. Although non-exhaustive, the results show a trend of generally decreasing seismic vulnerability for more recent buildings.
