Description
The fundamental nature of dark or invisible matter remains one of the great mysteries of our time. A leading hypothesis is that dark matter is made of new elementary particles, with proposed masses and interaction cross sections spanning an enormous range. Amongst the technologies developed to search for dark matter particles, detectors based on liquid xenon are currently leading the field, providing unprecedented sensitivities and a large discovery potential. I will present recent results from multi-tonne detectors currently taking data deep underground, I will also discuss the ongoing R&D and the physics potential of the next-generation experiments.
