Understand

The search for dark matter, the missing mass of the Universe, is one of the most active fields of study within particle physics.

The XENON1T experiment recently observed a 3.5$\sigma$ excess potentially consistent with dark matter, or with solar axions.
Here, we will use the Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST) software to simulate the XENON1T detector, reproducing the excess.
We utilize different detector efficiency and energy reconstruction models, but they primarily impact sub-keV energies and cannot explain the XENON1T excess.
