  22. 19. Low radon and low internal radioactivity (LowRad) for XLZD
    Lutz Althüser (University of Münster)
    30/06/2026, 14:20
    Presentation

    Next generation liquid noble gas detectors for the search of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), such as XLZD, aim to increase their sensitivity down to the neutrino fog. This ambitious goal can only be achieved by further reducing the detector backgrounds dominated by LXe intrinsic isotopes of $^{85}$Kr and $^{222}$Rn to a factor ten below the unshieldable solar and atmospheric...

  23. 26. CVD Nickel as a Structural Material for Next Generation Low-Background Physics Detectors
    Naman Walia
    30/06/2026, 14:40
    Presentation

    The construction of next generation low-background detectors requires, material that balances radiopurity with superior mechanical properties. While electroformed copper is currently known to have the best radiopurity levels, however it is constrained by slow depositions rate, limited structural strength and complex manufacturing requirements. The talk introduces chemical vapour deposition...

  24. 13. Exploring concepts for ReStoX at SNOLAB
    Frédéric Girard (McGill University)
    30/06/2026, 15:00
    Presentation

    The ReStoX concept is, in itself, simple: a pressure vessel with cryopumping capability, able to safely recover and store high-pressure xenon at room temperature. Beyond this concept lie complex, site-dependent engineering challenges that influence the design with aspects such as laboratory accessibility, on-site vs. off-site construction, cooling power requirements, operational complexity and...

  25. 23. XLZD – Installation Planning and Schedule
    Alex Jones (STFC-UKRI)
    30/06/2026, 15:20
    Presentation

    An overview of the existing XLZD@Boulby schedule and how it might be adjusted to suit a site agnostic installation timeline in advance of the XLZD Concept Design Review (CDR). The current schedule covers key components from the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) from completion of the XLZD CDR through to commissioning of the XLZD detector, identifying potential critical paths, and estimating lead...

  26. 10. One TPC to Rule Them All: A Unified LXe Observatory for DM and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
    Nadav Hargittai (Weizmann Institute of Science)
    30/06/2026, 15:40
    Presentation

    The two research communities of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay ($0\nu2\beta$) and dark matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) searches have had a large technological overlap in their use of the Liquid Xenon (LXe) Time Projection Chamber (TPC). As detectors get larger and more complex, the possibility of combining their efforts into one mutually beneficial experiment becomes...

  47. 1. Projected Sensitivity of the XLZD Rare Event Observatory to New Physics via Low Energy Electron Recoils
    Huan Zhang
    Poster

    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...
