Description
The XENONnT detector is the latest in the series of XENON experiments, utilizing the concept of dual-phase time projection chambers (TPCs) for the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Located at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, the detector was commissioned in 2021 and has already completed its first science run. With an increased liquid xenon target of 5.9 tonnes and novel subsystems, it has reached an unprecedented purity in both electro-negative and radioactive radon contaminations, resulting in the lowest ever achieved low-energy background in a dark matter detector.
In this talk I will give an overview of the XENONnT experiment, and present the latest science results.
