SUMMARY:Searching for Dark Matter with the LZ experiment - Theresa Fruth (
 UCL)

DESCRIPTION:The nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries
  of the universe. Extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics pro
 vide potential candidates for it. Such dark matter particles can be search
 ed for using direct detection experiments. The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment 
 is a next-generation direct detection experiment\, which employs a two-pha
 se\, liquid xenon time projection chamber. It is currently under construct
 ion 4850 feet underground in an old gold mine in South Dakota. In this tal
 k I will give an overview of the experiment and its projected sensitivity 
 reach\, as well as the current status of construction and integration.
