XENONnT pushes the limits! We achieved a new purity standard, reducing radon activity to a billion times less than radioactivity naturally present in the human body. 🤯 Details: physics.aps.org/articles/v18… The paper: Phys. Rev. X 15, 031079 #DarkMatter #Physics #Innovation #XENONnT

Dark-Matter Sensitivity Improved with a Xenon Still

The most troublesome contaminant in dark-matter searches that use xenon can be removed using a centuries-old concept.

The XENON community stands with @Elena_Aprile and her family in remembering Karl-Ludwig Giboni, technical manager of XENON10 and XENON100. His passing leaves a void in all who knew him. His ingenious contributions shaped the development of dual-phase xenon TPCs for dark matter😢

XENONnT is the first experiment to measure nuclear recoils from solar neutrinos Today, July 10, at the #IDM2024 in L’Aquila (IT), Fei Gao, from Tsingua Universitiy, reported this result: we can say that XENONnT enters into the so-called “neutrino fog”.This is a great achievement!
