+Description: The XENON Dark Matter Experiment located at the Gran Sasso Laboratories
+  (INFN, Italy), is currently the leader world project searching for the so called
+  Dark Matter, something which is completely different from ordinary matter. This
+  Dark Matter is not (as the name hints) visible, but it should pervade the entire
+  Universe. Its presence has been confirmed by different experimental evidences, however
+  its intrinsic nature is one of the big puzzle of Modern Physics. The XENON Experiment
+  could reveal the nature of the DM looking at the possible interactions of the DM
+  with ordinary matter, for instance with the Xenon, a noble gas been liquified at
+  very low temperature. The study of the background signal, from the environment and
+  from the materials that make up the new detector containing the Xenon, is essential
+  to understand the detector's behavior and its implications on its performances.
