Description
Over the past two decades, noble liquid detectors located deep underground have made remarkable advancements, significantly enhancing their ability to explore a diverse parameter space for dark matter particles. These increasingly sensitive detectors are now evolving into versatile particle astrophysics observatories. Notably, xenon-based detectors are beginning to see solar neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering, a phenomenon often referred to as the “neutrino fog.” In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent developments in noble liquid observatories, and highlight their potentials to address fundamental questions in particle physics in the decades to come.
