Description
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter direct detection experiment operating 1.5 km underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. LZ uses a 7 active-tonne dual-phase xenon time projection chamber primarily designed to detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a well-motivated class of dark matter candidate. LZ has published dark matter search results covering an exposure of 4.2 tonne-years and plans to record 1000 live days of data through 2028. This talk will
present the latest advances in LZ's search for WIMPs and other rare
physics phenomena.
