Title: Light Dark Matter Search with XENON1T
Speaker: Jelle Aalbers (Univ. Stockholm)

Abstract

This talk reports on recent light dark matter results from XENON1T (https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11485). Using strong event selections, rather than requiring a scintillation signal, we obtain a thousand times lower background than in similar previous searches. This yields world-leading constraints on WIMPs, leptophillic dark matter, dark photons and axion-like particles.
