This paper will discuss the microphysical simulation of interactions in liquid xenon, the active detector medium in many leading rare-event searches for new physics, and describe experimental observables useful for understanding detector performance. The scintillation and ionization yield distributions for signal and background will be presented using the Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST), which is a toolkit based on experimental data and simple, empirical formulae, which mimic previous microphysics modeling, but are guided by data. The NEST models for light and charge production as a function of the particle type, energy, and electric field will be reviewed, as well as models for energy resolution and final pulse areas. NEST will be compared to other models or sets of models, and vetted against real data, with several specific examples pulled from XENON, ZEPLIN, LUX, LZ, PandaX, and table-top experiments used for calibrations.

Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
LZ's new 5.7-tonne-year search reports a 4.5σ hint of solar 8B neutrino CEνNS and world-leading dark matter limits down to 5 GeV/c².

Quartz fluorescence backgrounds in xenon particle detectors
The delayed photon noise that follows scintillation pulses in liquid xenon detectors is mostly ultraviolet-induced fluorescence from quartz photosensor windows, not from the xenon or the detector walls.

Light Dark Matter Search with 7.8 Tonne-Year of Ionization-Only Data in XENONnT
An S2-only analysis of 7.83 tonne-years of XENONnT data finds no dark matter excess and sets 90% CL limits, e.g. 6.0e-45 cm^2 for spin-independent scattering at 5 GeV/c^2.

Dark Matter implications from the LZ, PandaX-4T and XENONnT Data
High-energy recoil excesses in LZ and XENONnT can be fit by velocity-dependent or inelastic dark matter at up to 4σ local significance, but the significance vanishes when xenon double-electron-capture charge yields ar...

First constraints on the coherent elastic scattering of reactor antineutrinos off xenon nuclei
The RED-100 experiment sets the first constraints on reactor antineutrino coherent scattering off xenon nuclei, with 90% C.L. upper limits 60 to 90 times the Standard Model expectation.
