Description
The XENON experiment searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with liquid Xenon as the active target. The proposed XENON1T detector is designed to achieve a sensitivity more than a factor of thousand beyond current limits. The collaboration is now testing the 10 kg target: the XENON10 detector was recently installed at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory and the first phase of data taking is underway.
