Description

In this poster, I will present the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment and how its world-leading sensitivity is being used to search for a variety of dark matter candidates and other astrophysical signals, such as coherent elastic neutrino nuclear scattering from Boron 8 solar neutrinos. Having already set the best limit on WIMP cross section, $\sigma_{SI} = 2.2\times 10^{-48}$cm$^{2}$ at $43$ GeV/c$^{2}$, we look at how LUX-ZEPLIN’s results can help constrain the parameter space of theories and support our understanding of the Standard Model.
