Talk (main workshop)

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment uses a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber designed to search for rare interactions between dark matter and ordinary matter. In this talk, I present LZ’s latest results using an expanded exposure and improved background modeling, yielding the most stringent constraints to date on spin-independent WIMP–nucleon and spin-dependent WIMP–neutron scattering down...
