Description
The LUX collaboration has pioneered new techniques in the quest of solving the dark matter puzzle. Using liquid xenon (LXe) dual-phase TPC technologies,
the collaboration set several world leading limits on WIMP dark matter. Even after the detector decommissioning in 2016 the analysis work continues. In this presentation, I will give an overview of the recent results published by the LUX collaboration, including: the sub-GeV Dark Matter search, the improvement of the electron recoil detector response model for LXe and the searches applying an effective field theory approach. I will also present some preliminary results of on-going analyses about future detector performance and the re-analysis of the background after the detector decommissioning.
