Electron lifetime evolution<br />

<strong>XENON</strong>-<strong>100</strong> Status<br />

<strong>The</strong> detector is underground since<br />

end of February 08<br />

First filled with Xe in mid-May 08<br />

Current run (‘run_06’) started in<br />

April after the earthquake<br />

detector<br />

leveled<br />

Light yield evolution<br />

Daily calibrations with 137 Cs<br />

sources, monitoring of the light<br />

yield and electron lifetime<br />

Resolution on single photoelectron<br />

Volume averaged LY at ‘zero field; corresponds to 4.45 PE/keVee at 122 keV<br />
