Setting limits on blazar-boosted dark matter with xenon-based detectors
Erin Barillier, Laura Manenti, Knut Mora +5
Dual-phase xenon time projection chambers achieve optimal sensitivity for dark matter in the 10 to 1000 GeV/c mass range, but sub-GeV dark matter particles lack sufficient ener…
Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +217
We present searches for light dark matter (DM) with masses 3-9 GeV/ in the presence of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) from B solar neutrinos wit…
Characterisation of the Bedretto Underground Site for Fundamental Physics Experiments
Björn Penning, Nicolas Angelides, Laura Baudis +33
Underground laboratories provide the ultra-low background and low-vibration environments essential for rare-event searches, gravitational-wave detection, and quantum-sensing techno…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
Dark counts in optical superconducting transition-edge sensors for rare-event searches
Laura Manenti, Carlo Pepe, Isaac Sarnoff +12
Superconducting transition-edge sensors (TESs) are a type of quantum sensor known for its high single-photon detection efficiency and low background. This makes them ideal for part…
The XENONnT Dark Matter Experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +192
The multi-staged XENON program at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso aims to detect dark matter with two-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers of increasing size and se…
