Description
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a low-background, multi-detector dark matter experiment centered on a time projection chamber (TPC) utilizing a 7 t liquid xenon target to observe dark matter interactions. It is currently being operated 4850 ft underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. In this talk, I will give an overview of the LZ project and present an analysis of the first 60 live days of data that looks for evidence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs).
