About this document
XENON100 Dark Matter Experiment Overview by Umav24 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the XENON dark matter experiment. It describes how the XENON100 experiment uses liquid xenon in a double-phase time projection chamber to detect dark matter. XENON100 aims to reduce gamma background by 100x and increase the fiducial mass by 10x compared to XENON10. Preliminary calibration data shows the expected background level is being achieved. Future plans include XENON100+ from 2010-2012 with over 100kg of xenon, and ultimately XENON1T, a 3 ton xenon experiment planned for 2013-2
