Description
This talk will discuss some of the challenges that face the next generation of dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers, and the R&D directions that should be taken to enable such a detector.
A generation-3 liquid xenon TPC will follow the current generation of experiments such as LZ and XENONnT, scaling up the mass of the detector to achieve a diverse scientific reach including dark matter direct detection, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and rare nuclear decays. To sufficiently advance sensitivity, improvements are necessary in xenon purification, radioactive backgrounds, field uniformity, and photon detector sensitivity.
