TL;DR
This paper details the analysis methods used for the XENON100 experiment, which searches for dark matter WIMPs through their interactions with xenon nuclei, reporting results from extensive data runs.
Contribution
It introduces the analysis techniques applied to XENON100 data, enabling the extraction of dark matter interaction limits from large-scale experiments.
Findings
Results on spin-independent elastic WIMP-nucleon cross-sections
Results on spin-dependent elastic WIMP-nucleon cross-sections
Results on inelastic WIMP-nucleon interactions
Abstract
The XENON100 experiment, situated in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), based on their interactions with xenon nuclei in an ultra low background dual-phase time projection chamber. This paper describes the general methods developed for the analysis of the XENON100 data. These methods have been used in the 100.9 and 224.6 live days science runs from which results on spin-independent elastic, spin-dependent elastic and inelastic WIMP-nucleon cross-sections have already been reported.
