Abstract
In the field of direct searches for WIMP dark matter, noble liquid detectors have recently proven an increasingly competitive technology. Although less demanding in terms of cryogenics, they are relatively easily scalable to large target masses and can offer good position reconstruction and background rejection power. Here we illustrate the more recent progress of this technology, through the particular example of the Xenon10 experiment.
