SUMMARY:Dark Matter Results from XENON100 and Scintillation Response o
 f LXe to Low Energy Particles\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Fo
 rum\, Kyungeun Lim\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:XENON100 is a dual-phase (liquid-gas) time projection cham
 ber (TPC) containing a total of 161 kg of LXe with a 62 kg WIMP target
  mass\, built with radiopure materials to achieve an ultra-low electro
 magnetic background and operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran 
 Sasso in Italy. Data from the XENON100 experiment have resulted in the
  most stringent limits on the spin-independent elastic WIMP-nucleon cr
 oss sections for WIMP masses above 8 GeV/c^2.<br>
\n<br>
\nI will pres
 ent the experiment and its latest dark matter search results. I will a
 lso discuss a dedicated test facility built and operated at Columbia U
 niversity to measure with high precision the scintillation response of
  LXe to low-energy electrons and nuclear recoils of interest to dark m
 atter direct detection experiments like XENON.
