Description
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter direct detection experiment operating 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 primarily to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a well-motivated dark matter candidate. This presentation will give the status of the LZ experiment and its searches for WIMP dark matter and other phenomena beyond the Standard Model.
