SUMMARY:Leptophilic Dark Matter searches with XENON100 detector\, NPAC
  (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Mayra Cervantes\, Purdue Unive
 rsity
DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Part
 icles (WIMPs) is typically expected to induce nuclear recoils in a ter
 restrial detector target  with an annually modulated rate due to the m
 otion of the Earth around the Sun.  Although such a modulation has bee
 n observed by the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration it is difficult to interpre
 t it as a dark matter signal\, given the null results from other exper
 iments.<br>
\nExperimental anomalies like the annual modulation signal
  observed in the DAMA/LIBRA project cannot be explained by traditional
  dark matter scattering on atomic nuclei\, but could be accommodated i
 f dark matter scatters predominantly off electrons or if most of the e
 nergy is release in the form of photons.<br>
\n I will present the res
 ults of the XENON experiment on leptophilic dark matter searches and w
 e will contrast them with the DAMA  signal.
