Description

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a liquid xenon dark matter experiment operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. LZ uses a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with 7 tonnes of active xenon to search for a range of dark matter candidates including WIMPs, and other new physics phenomena. LZ recently published the world-leading dark matter search upper-limit result with 280 live days of operation and 4.2 tonne-years of exposure for WIMP dark matter masses above 9 GeV/c^2. This talk will report the recent progress of LZ and the search results for dark matter and new physics.
