Description
XENON1T is the world’s largest and most sensitive detector for direct dark matter search in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The detection principle is based on a double-phase TPC (Time Projection Chamber), using about 2 tonnes of Xenon.
In this talk the latest results from the experiment, after collecting an exposure of 1.0 tonne x year, are discussed. The data are consistent with the expected background and correspond to the most stringent limit on spin-independent interactions of WIMPs with ordinary matter for a WIMP mass higher than 6 GeV/c².
