About

XENONnT is a major underground liquid-xenon experiment designed to search for rare interactions from dark matter. In this talk, I will present recent dark matter search results from XENONnT, with emphasis on the search for WIMP interactions and the extension of sensitivity toward lower dark matter masses. I will also discuss the main experimental advances that support these searches, including background reduction, detector calibration, event reconstruction, and the control of low-energy detector response. These results demonstrate the continuing power of large liquid-xenon detectors in probing unexplored dark matter parameter space and in approaching the sensitivity regime where neutrino interactions become an important consideration for future searches.
