Three Decades of Solar Neutrinos and Dark Matter Searches

Abstract

I will present how the field of investigations in neutrinos and dark matter has evolved in the past 30 years, contributing major discoveries and building a strong base for future advancements in our understanding of the Universe. I will present a look at results from the solar neutrino experiment Borexino, which performed a detailed measurement of the entire neutrino spectrum with an organic liquid scintillator target.  I will discuss status and prospects of the ongoing search for the discovery of dark matter with the DarkSide program. I will detail the impact of the technological innovations introduced for the DarkSide project in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay.
