The installation of the XENONnT Time Projection Chamber (TPC) was successfully completed at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (LNGS).
Several PhD students and postdocs in our group participated in the assembly and installation on site. In particular, Adam Brown, Chiara Capelli and Giovanni Volta remained at LNGS and continued to work underground during the difficult time of the Covid-19 pandemic, with a few members from the collaboration. Together, they ensured that the photosensors and the light calibration system are operational, and that the TPC is in a safe mode in vacuum, inside the cryostat. The XENONnT experiment will start the commissioning phase later in 2020, once access to LNGS is restored.
