N2 - Time Projection Chambers filled with Ar in double phase are largely employed in the direct detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) as Dark Matter candidates. Models predict WIMP with a mass at the electroweak scale, so the expected energy of the Ar nuclear recoil after a WIMP-induced scattering is in the range of tens of keV. However, if these particles had mass at the GeV/c2 scale, the deposited energy would drop to a few keV. In this scenario, WIMP direct detection will become challenging but still possible in these detectors, as proved by recent studies on the data collected by DarkSide-50. Since the future generation of multi-tonnes experiments aims to be sensitive also at this low-mass scale, the REcoil Directionality (ReD) experiment underwent a campaign to investigate the ionization response of LAr down to a few keV.
