A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics
Aalbers, J.; AbdusSalam, S. S.; Abe, K.; Aerne, V.; Agostini, F.; Ahmed Maouloud, S.; Akerib, D. S.; Akimov, D. Y.; Akshat, J.; Al Musalhi, A. K.The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon timeprojection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinol...

XENON
Aprile, E.; Giboni, K.-L.; Monzani, M. E.; Plante, G.; Yamashita, M.; Gaitskell, R. J.; Fiorucci, S.; Sorensen, P.; DeViveiros, L.; Bernstein, A.The XENON experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) via their elastic scattering off Xenon nuclei. With 1 ton of LXe distributed in ten identical modules, the proposed XENON1T experiment will achieve a sensitivity more than a factor of thousand beyond current limits.The detectors are time projection chambers operated in dual (liquid/gas) p...
3D Position Sensitive XeTPC for Dark Matter Search
Angle, J.; Aprile, E.; Arneodo, F.; Baudis, L.; Bernstein, A.; Bolozdynya, A.; Coelho, L.; Dahl, E.; DeViveiros, L.; Ferella, A.; Fernandes, L.The technique to realize 3D position sensitivity in a two-phase xenon time projection chamber (XeTPC) is described. Results from a prototype detector (XENON3) are presented.; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TVD-4R68DXJ-13/1/c7a25befd9bec275706d42709c6eb3c6
