SUMMARY:Speaker: Emily Perry (UCL) - Title: Towards the discovery of galactic dark matter: the LZ experiment and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: December 19\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm  \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Emily Perry (UCL) \nTitle: Towards the discovery of galactic dark matter: the LZ experiment and beyond\n \nAbstract: \nThe discovery of the nature of dark matter is internationally recognised as one of the highest priorities in science. Its discovery would bring forward a new era in physics and astronomy\, simultaneously solving the near 100 year old missing mass problem and delivering the first evidence of physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Dual phase xenon (Xe) time projection chambers (TPCs) have been dominating the search for dark matter for the past 10 years. Now not only targeting WIMPs of mass > 3 GeV/c2\, but due to their scalability and advanced technologies\, boast world leading sensitivity to other BSM-physics and rare or exotic neutrino physics. \nThe LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) dark experiment operates at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota and is the most sensitive and largest of all Xe TPCs ever constructed. In its first science run of only 60-livedays the experiment has set the world-leading constraints on the existence of WIMPs down to a mass of 9 GeV/c2. This seminar will highlight some of the key work that has led to this result with focus on some of my specific contributions. Giving an exciting glimpse of what the future holds for LZ\, I will present the innovative work that is being done on the ramp up to the next science results. I will also discuss both the short and long term future of LZ and the path to an historic dark matter discovery. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037
