COLLOQUIUM "Search for the Invisible: Dark Matter and Neutrinos in XENONnT" by Teresa Marrodán Undagoitia (Max Planck Heidelberg)

Colloquium (Nikhef)

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.
