XENONnT Experiment Achieves Record-Breaking Purity in the Quest for Dark Matter
Innovative Technology Pushes the Boundaries of Ultra-Low Background Physics In the global search for dark matter, the XENONnT experiment at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) stands out as one of the world’s most sensitive detectors in the field. This international collaboration, comprising over 190 scientists from 30 institutions worldwide, has achieved a […]
XeSAT2017: Online krypton and radon removal for the XENON1T experiment
This talk by Michael Murra (slides) was presented at the XeSAT2017 conference in Khon Kaen, Thailand, from 3. – 7. April 2017. The main background for the XENON1T experiment are the intrinsic contaminants krypton and radon in the xenon gas. Instead of purifying the xenon once before starting the science run we were able to […]
Distillation campaign for XENONnT finished
The up-coming XENONnT experiment utilizes a total of 8.3 tonnes of xenon to search for the ever elusive dark matter particles. In addition to the existing 3.3 tonnes of ultra-pure xenon from XENON1T, another 5 tonnes of xenon were purchased by the XENON collaboration. Before the new gas can be used for XENONnT, it needs […]
