Recent Results from the XENONnT Dark Matter Experiment
Elena Aprile (University of Columbia)


The XENON Dark Matter Project aims at the direct detection of Dark Matter WIMPs as they scatter off a liquid xenon target in a two-phase time projection chamber (TPC). With steadily increased target mass and lower background, the XENON experiments have set world-leading limits on a variety of WIMP interactions and over a broad mass range. I will present results from the first science data obtained with the new XENONnT experiment, which continues taking data at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory.
