PMT studies and loop antenna development for the LZ dark matter experiment

Abstract:

The nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. Extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics provide potential candidates for dark matter. Such dark matter particles can be searched for using direct detection experiments. LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a next-generation search for dark matter currently under construction at SURF, South Dakota. LZ employs a two-phase, liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe TPC). A dark matter particle would scatter of a xenon ...
