Description

We report on results from searches for new physics with low-energy electronic recoil data recorded
with the XENON1T detector. With an exposure of 1042 kg x 226.9 days and an unprecedented low
background rate of (76 ±2) events/(tonne x year x keV) between 1-30 keV, the data enables the most
sensitive searches for new physics such as solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment using
solar neutrinos, and bosonic dark matter.  We will address significance, systematics, and potential
interpretations of a surplus of events observed below 7 keV. Finally, we will discuss prospects for
addressing the excess in the upcoming XENONnT detector upgrade.
