The LUX-Zeplin (LZ) experiment, an international collaboration formed in 2012, is a WIMP detector managed by DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab) and to be located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota.[1] LZ experiment is a next-generation dark matter direct detection experiment. When completed, the experiment will be the world’s most sensitive experiment for WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) over a large range of WIMP masses[2]

LZ is a collaboration of 30 institutes in the US, UK, Portugal and Russia. Dr Araújo from the Imperial College of London leads the UK team on LZ.[3]
