That mystery may be addressed by the next phase of the study, however, which will see XENON1T upgraded to XENONnT: three times the active xenon mass and a lower background than its predecessor.

The next phase, known as XENONnT, will have an active xenon mass that’s three times larger than the previous version, and should have less background noise.
