Description
Liquid xenon is one of the best detection mediums for dark matter direct detection, as demonstrated by the XENON100 and LUX experiments. Rejecting the electron recoil background from material radioactivity of the detector system and even solar and atmospheric neutrinos remains as the most challenging task for future dark matter detectors based on liquid xenon. Here we will present an experimental study to probe the near-intrinsic electron recoil rejection power of liquid xenon, which indicates the potential of background-free dark matter detection in future liquid xenon based experiments.
