Description
Dark matter experiments based on dual-phase Xe TPCs such as XENON100 and the upcoming XENON1T currently place the most stringent limits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section for WIMP masses above 10GeV/c^2. In this talk, strategies to improve the sensitivity to lower WIMP masses such as using only the charge signal or increasing the light collection efficiency will be discussed.
