SUMMARY:XENON Detector for Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Elena Aprile\, Columbia University\nHosted by: Rama B
	ansil\, So-Young Pi\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/2012_Fall/08_Apr
	ile.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nA variety of
	 experiments attempt to find out what the Dark Matter that fills our Univer
	se is made of\, resulting in a vibrant field of research. This talk will re
	view what we know (or do not know) about the nature of Dark Matter\, before
	 introducing the basic principles for its direct detection in laboratory-sc
	ale detectors\, focusing on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). T
	he XENON experimental program will then be presented together with the curr
	ent status and data from XENON100. The future prospects for the field with 
	the XENON1T phase will be summarized.
