Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chambers (LXe TPCs) are among the most sensitive detectors for detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a hypothetical form of dark matter. In recent years, collaborations such as XENON, LZ, and PandaX have published results showing that these detectors can exclude interaction cross-sections down to 10^-47 cm^2 for WIMP masses in the GeV range. The presentation of such results typically focuses on high-level data analysis. However, achieving such precise measurements requires significant effort beyond the high-level analysis presented in these collaborations' results. This effort includes designing and implementing complex systems like the Data Acquisition System (DAQ), which is responsible for recording and processing all experimental data. The DAQ is a crucial system of XENONnT as it can influence all subsequent stages of data analysis.
This talk provides insight into the role played by the DAQ in achieving precise measurements from XENONnT by discussing the system's design requirements, implementation steps, and performance.
