Status and Prospects of the XENON Dark Matter Search Experiment — •Sebastian Lindemann — Physikalisches Institut, University of Freiburg, Germany

XENON1T was a dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber that operated deep underground at Italy's Gran Sasso National Laboratory from 2016 to 2018. Primarily designed to search for WIMP dark matter, XENON1T featured a ton-scale target mass, keV-scale energy threshold, and ultra low background rate that together led to several world-leading results on a variety of rare-event processes. XENON1T's successor, XENONnT, features a larger target mass and a further reduced background level. It is currently being commissioned and will be able to probe the parameter space of interest with improved sensitivity. This talk will summarize recent XENON1T results and detail the power of its successor XENONnT.
