The XENON Collaboration is developing a dark matter detector using liquid xenon (LXe) as the target medium for detecting weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The goal of the collaboration is to operate an array of LXe time projection chambers (TPCs) with 1000 times greater sensitivity to WIMPs than current direct dark matter detection experiments. Recent measurements by members of the XENON collaboration have demonstrated the promise of the LXe TPC approach, particularly measurements of the scintillation efficiency and charge response of LXe to nuclear recoils. The collaboration plans to operate a 10 kg fiducial volume prototype, XENON10, underground in the spring of 2006. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
