Description
The XENON program aims at direct detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection with dual phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs), located at the Laboratori Nazionale de Gran Sasso. This contribution is going to review recent results of the still operational XENON-100 detector, as well as discuss the status and prospects for the presently commissioned XENON-1T detector, the first tonne scale xenon TPC, and its planned upgrades.
