The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment is a next-generation experiment designed to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), which are believed to make up the majority of the dark matter in the universe. The experiment uses a large liquid
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment is a next-generation dark matter direct detection experiment hoping to observe weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) scatters on nuclei. It was formed in 2012 by combining the LUX and ZEPLIN groups. It is currently a collaboration of 30 institutes in the US, UK, Portugal and South Korea. The experiment is located at about 1,500 metres under the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota, and is managed by the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
