Description

XENONnT, the latest detector of the XENON Dark Matter program, shows an unprecedentedly low background which facilitates searches for new, very rare phenomena with high sensitivity. The detector which was designed to look for elusive dark matter particles holds almost 6000 kg of ultrapure liquid xenon as a target for particle interactions. It is installed inside a water Cherenkov active muon and neutron veto, deep underground at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy.

At Stockholm university we are involved in the construction, operation and data analysis of this detector. In addition we do research and development on new photosensors in our local lab for the next generation detector, DARWIN. This talk will summarise the current status of the direct detection field with a focus on our local activities.
