Description
Next generation liquid xenon TPCs, like LZ, will offer an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity to WIMP dark matter with masses above 10 GeV. The introduction of a low-Z element, like hydrogen, into a large xenon TPC would take advantage of the excellent self-shielding xenon environment, while potentially extending sensitivity down to ~50 MeV WIMP masses. This talk will describe ongoing R&D efforts to quantify the dissolution of H2 in LXe and the response of such a mixture in a small test chamber at Fermilab.
