Abstract
The XENON100 detector is a liquid xenon TPC dedicated to dark matter searches which is successfully operating in the Gran Sasso Laboratory of INFN. After the publication, in 2011, of the analysis of 100.2day of data, the experiment has been running in improved background conditions, collecting more than 200day of useful data, whose analysis will be unblinded in Summer 2012. In these proceedings, I will describe the main characteristics of the XENON100 detector. In the second part, I will describe the next generation XENON1T experiment, whose construction will begin in 2012.
