Direct Search for Dark Matter with XENON
Speaker(s): Uwe Oberlack
Abstract: The XENON project pursues the goal of directly detecting nuclear recoils resulting from scattering interactions with Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), using a phased approach of increasingly more sensitive experiments. The detector consists of a dual-phase liquid/gas xenon time projectio... read more

Direct Dark Matter Searches
Speaker(s): Uwe Oberlack
Abstract: Astrophysical evidence indicates that the universe consists to about 25% of non-baryonic, cold Dark Matter, compared to merely ~4% of 'regular' matter, composed of quarks and electrons. The existence of Dark Matter and Dark Energy is striking evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and under... read more
