Description
XENONnT is a dark matter direct detection experiment, currently in commissioning phase, located at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. It utilizes a TPC filled with 8.5 t of liquid xenon of which 5.9 t instrumented with 494 3-inch Hamamatsu R11410-21 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) divided into two arrays, placed at the top and bottom of the active volume. The light sensors have been selected after a testing campaign to ensure a reliable response and a time-stable functioning. These operations are briefly summarized, while the discussion is focused on the current PMT performance.
