  Dark matter detectors using the liquid noble gases xenon and argon as WIMP
targets have evolved rapidly in the last decade and will continue to play a
major role in the field. Due to the possibility to scale these detectors to
larger masses relatively easily, noble liquids will likely be the first
technology realizing a detector with a ton-scale target mass. In this article,
we summarize the basic concepts of liquid noble gas dark matter detectors and
review the current experimental status.
