Description
XENON100 is a double-phase (liquid/gas) TPC aiming to directly detect WIMP Dark
Matter. It is in operation underground in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso
(LNGS), Italy, and has a measured background which is below all other running Dark
Matter direct detection experiments.
In this talk we will present the newest results from XENON100, obtained from 100
life-days of dark matter data. No events have been found above the expected
background, which leads to the lowest limit for spin-independent WIMP nucleon
scattering over the whole WIMP mass range. We will concentrate on the analysis of
this dataset and give an outlook.
