Abstract: The DarkSide-50 direct-detection dark matter experiment is a dual-phase argon time projection chamber operating at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). It is sensitive to WIMPs with masses above 50 GeV/c^2 by exploiting the exceptional pulse shape discrimination of the scintillation signal in LAr and to lower masses WIMPs by an analysis that uses solely the ionisation signal for which DarkSide-50 is fully efficient starting from 0.1 keVee. The latest results derived using the full sample acquired by the experiment will be presented together with the calibration methods used, in particular for the low mass dark matter search within and beyond the WIMP paradigm.
