COLLABORATION

EXPLORE

THE XENON COLLABORATION

About 200 scientists from over 25 institutions across the world form the international XENON collaboration, representing more than 25 different nationalities. The collaboration has been searching for dark matter since 2006 with liquid xenon time projection chambers in a series of experiments: XENON10, XENON100, XENON1T and XENONnT. While XENON10 was filled with merely 15 kg of xenon, XENONnT, the newest member of the XENON family, employs a total of 8.6 tonnes.
