Scientific paper

One of the most appealing questions in astroparticle physics concerns the nature of the Dark Matter (DM) particles and their possible interaction with ordinary matter. In order to find a solution to such problem, a double phase liquid-gas Xenon Time Projection Chamber has been proposed and built as a suitable detector for the direct detection of DM in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The possibility of simultaneously measuring the scintillation and the ionization signals, and a 3D event localization feature, represent a powerful background discrimination method. During the Autumn-Winter 2006-2007 a prototype of 15 kg sensitive mass of Liquid Xenon (XENON10) has been successfully run at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory. The technique and the results of the XENON10 detector are presented.
