Title: “Search for the Invisible: Dark Matter and Neutrinos in XENONnT”
Abstract:
In recent years, the XENON experiment has directly searched for dark matter, focusing on the hypothetical WIMP candidate. Although no discovery has yet been made, the exclusion limits on WIMP and other dark-matter interactions are steadily improving, led by liquid xenon experiments. Due to their low background, low energy threshold and relatively large mass, these experiments are becoming sensitive to other scientific questions, including neutrino physics. This presentation provides an overview of the current status of XENONnT, including its search for dark matter and measurement of coherent scattering of solar neutrinos, as well as the prospects for future liquid xenon detectors.
