SUMMARY:Speaker: Sparshita Dey (Oxford) - Title: Chasing Shadows: Illuminating the Path from LZ to the Next Generation Dual-Phase Xe TPC Observatory for Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: December 17\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Sparshita Dey (Oxford) \nTitle: Chasing Shadows: Illuminating the Path from LZ to the Next Generation Dual-Phase Xe TPC Observatory for Dark Matter \nAbstract: The nature of dark matter remains one of the most significant unsolved challenges in modern physics. Liquid xenon time projection chambers (LXe-TPCs) have emerged as a powerful tool in the search for WIMP dark matter candidates (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles)\, particularly in the GeV/c2 range. The XENON-LUX-ZEPLIN-DARWIN (XLZD) collaboration embodies the collective knowledge & expertise of generations of LXe-TPC-based experiments\, combining three current world-leading experimental and R&D efforts operating at sub-10-tonne Xe target masses. This talk will present the case for XLZD’s next-generation dual phase xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics\, with the capability to explore the WIMP parameter space down to the so-called neutrino fog\, a background-limited region where neutrino and WIMP signatures look very similar. A discussion of the lessons learned from the operation & analysis chain for the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment will feature\, to motivate the design approach for this detector\, as well as an overview of novel detector design concepts and exciting current R&D experiments which may both improve sensitivities to low-mass dark matter models and revolutionise the current dark matter direct detection landscape. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037
