Research Progress Meeting

Title: Searching for Dark Matter with LZ and Future LZ Upgrades
Abstract: Direct detection of particle dark matter remains an outstanding opportunity in understanding the nature of the universe, and for discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model. I will discuss the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment’s world-leading WIMP dark matter searches as well as a novel search for neutrinoless double beta decay. In addition, I will present three avenues of instrumentation work at LBNL for potential upgrades to the LZ experiment: a solid xenon TPC (crystaLiZe), light element doping of xenon (HydroX), and mitigation of instrument backgrounds to enable sub-GeV dark matter searches.
