Description

Liquid xenon TPCs are the leading technology in the search for WIMPs, a high-priority dark matter candidate. This talk features complimentary analyses in the XENON1T experiment in an extended mass range, to maximize the probability for discovery and exploit the full potential of this versatile technology. We will present the search for sub-GeV dark matter in the lowest energy bin possible, that of individual electrons ejected from their atomic shells. We will also present the search for dark matter near the Planck mass, using high-multiplicity tracks. Finally, we will introduce the Windchime experiment, which is aimed at the detection of heavy dark matter in the lab, through gravity alone, using an accelerometer array with quantum-enhanced readout.
