HEP-Astro Seminar | The Low-energy Electronic-recoil Excess in the XENON1T Dark Matter Experiment
Mike Clark (Purdue University)
The XENON1T liquid xenon time projection chamber is the most sensitive WIMP dark matter detector to date. Though the main WIMP search is performed by selecting for nuclear recoils, electronic-recoil events can also hold evidence for new physics, such as solar axions, bosonic dark matter, or neutrino magnetic moments. The low backgrounds achieved in this experiment allow for precision searches, even at low recoil energies. I will discuss the recent results of the electronic-recoil search in XENON1T and the implications for new physics channels.
