Dark Matter search with XENON — •Cyril Grignon — JGU, Staudingerweg 7, 55128 Mainz
The XENON program aims for the direct detection of dark matter with a liquid xenon TPC working in a low background environment. We discuss recent results obtained with the XENON100 experiment, the current phase of the program based on a sensitive volume of 62 kg of liquid xenon and operated in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in Italy. We also present the status of XENON1T, the next phase of the program currently under construction at LNGS, which aims to reach a sensitivity for the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2 × 10−47 cm2 for a WIMP mass of 50 GeV/c2 . The first science run of XENON1T is expected ot start at the end of 2015.
