Descripción

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter direct detection experiment nearly a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, USA. LZ employs a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with 7 tonnes of active volume and a multi-component veto system for sensitive detection of particles such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a highly motivated dark matter candidate. This presentation will give the status of the LZ experiment and its search for WIMP dark matter as well as recent studies of other new physics phenomena.
