Description
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a low-background 7-tonne dual-phase xenon time projection chamber based at Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, USA. While the primary physics motivation is the search for WIMP dark matter interactions, investigations of other rare physics processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay are also being pursued.
If observed, neutrinoless double beta decay would prove that the neutrino is a Majorana particle and possibly explain the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe. This poster will introduce the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment and the status of the searches for this rare process within the detector
