Latest Results and Status of the LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment
ORAL
Abstract
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter direct detection experiment located 4,850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota. The detector is a dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) that utilizes 7 tonnes of liquid xenon as its target medium to search for dark matter interactions, primarily from the highly-motivated candidate - Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), as well as some other phenomena beyond the standard model. LZ continues to constrain parameter-space for WIMP-like dark matter as it acquires more data towards its goal of 1,000 days of live time. This talk will present LZ's new results from the combined 2022-2024 exposure and the status of the detector.
