Per-nucleon spin-independent scattering cross sections and dark matter masses that can be probed by liquid xenon dark matter detectors via dedicated searches for multi-scatter signals. For cross sections above σMIMP (horizontal green lines) one expects dark matter to scatter multiple times in the detector while transiting. The maximum mass reachable (vertical green lines) is limited by the total integrated flux of dark matter in the detector over the runtime of the experiment. Masses up to and beyond the Planck mass 10 19 GeV/c 2 may be probed with a next-generation detector. Only smaller cross-sections and smaller masses are probed by the standard single-scatter analyses (blue lines). Figure taken from Ref. [141].

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matt...

Neutrino physics in one of the most active fields of research with important implications for particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. On the other hand, motivated by some theories including string theory, formulation of physical theories in more than four space-time dimensions has been the subject of increasing attention in recent years. Inte...

Neutrino physics is one of the most important topics in particle physics and cosmology. As it is known, neutrinos are weakly interacting fundamental particles with chargeless and very small masses. One of the most characteristic features of the neutrino that make a difference from other elementary particles is that it oscillates between the mass an...

The field of particle physics is at the crossroads. The discovery of a Higgs-like boson completed the Standard Model (SM), but the lacking observation of convincing resonances Beyond the SM (BSM) offers no guidance for the future of particle physics. On the other hand, the motivation for New Physics has not diminished and is, in fact, reinforced by...
