Description
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) and the next generation XLZD experiments are designed to search for dark matter using two-phase xenon time projection chambers. Apart from searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), LZ is also looking for axion-like particles (ALPs), solar neutrino, mirror dark matter, and hidden photons. XLZD has already published or been researching on its projections to search for these particles. In this talk, I will show LZ’s most up-to-date results, and projected sensitivities for XLZD, to physics models expected to lead to increases in the observed rates of electron recoils in the detectors.
