Description
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment aims to directly detect WIMP particles interacting with xenon nuclei. These interactions produce scintillation and ionization signals within the active region of the detector which identify their presence. It is the goal to trigger correctly on ionization pulses that come from WIMPs and to avoid triggering on dark current from PMTs. This presentation demonstrates the process of identifying the criteria for a trigger decision.
