Parallel talks 6: Astro-particle Physics & Cosmology
- Maxim Gromov (MSU)
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a direct dark matter detection experiment aiming to detect rare events resulting from the scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). It employs a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) with an active mass of 7 tonnes (5.6 tonne fiducial), surrounded by an instrumented xenon skin and liquid scintillator active vetoes. I will give an overview of the LZ...
Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most pressing questions in particle physics today: the evidence of DM's existence from astrophysics and cosmology is substantial, while particle physicists know nothing about DM. Direct detection experiments have hunted DM for more than four decades. However, the null results have been consistently concluded by a lot of experiments that implemented variant target...
