Workshop on Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Detector for Dark Matter, and Other Rare Events

This workshop is organised by the LZ and DARWIN/XENON Collaborations as an online event  on Monday and  Tuesday, April 26-27, 1600-1900 CET (0700-1000 US Pacific).

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate was subsequently signed on July 6, 2021. A list of signatories is available at the link directly below.

The meeting is by invitation only involving members of LZ and DARWIN.
