Study of few-electron backgrounds in the LUX-ZEPLIN detector
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +204
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment aims to detect rare interactions between dark matter particles and xenon. Although the detector is designed to be the most sensitive to GeV/--Te…
Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +217
We present searches for light dark matter (DM) with masses 3-9 GeV/ in the presence of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) from B solar neutrinos wit…
Characterisation of the Bedretto Underground Site for Fundamental Physics Experiments
Björn Penning, Nicolas Angelides, Laura Baudis +33
Underground laboratories provide the ultra-low background and low-vibration environments essential for rare-event searches, gravitational-wave detection, and quantum-sensing techno…
Search for New Physics via Low-Energy Electron Recoils with a 4.2 Tonne\times Year Exposure from the LZ Experiment
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +207
We report results from searches for new physics models through electron recoils using data collected by the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment during its first two science runs, with a tot…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206
The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…
