Title:     Searches for new physics with noble liquids at SNOLAB

Abstract: The Standard Model of Particle Physics, which so successfully predicts interactions of elementary particles down to the smallest scales observed, is known to be an incomplete theory.  In this talk, two types of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model will be discussed, both with noble liquids as the detection medium.  First, I will present the latest results from experiments looking for dark matter interactions with liquid argon targets: the DEAP-3600 experiment located at SNOLAB, and plans toward the next-generation experiments DarkSide-20k and ARGO.  Then, I will talk about the nEXO experiment, also planned to be located at SNOLAB, that will look for neutrinoless double beta decay in liquid xenon to determine whether neutrinos could be their own antiparticles.  Finally, I will show developments in single-photon detection technology enabling nEXO and ARGO, with potential applications outside the field.
