XENONnT detector narrows the hunt for dark matter

phys.org · 4dShare

Using a detector filled with nearly 9 metric tons of liquid xenon, researchers have delivered some of the most sensitive dark matter results ever recorded. In the latest analysis from the XENON collaboration, working at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, researchers carried out a "blind" test to avoid bias in measurements of the XENONnT detector, pushing the experiment's sensitivity to unprecedented levels.
