Originating Calendar: Physics - High Energy Physics Seminar; The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, is primarily designed to search for rare interactions between ordinary matter and galactic dark matter particles. The experiment employs a 7-tonne liquid xenon time-projection chamber surrounded by a three-component veto system: a liquid-xenon skin, a nearly-hermetic Gd-loaded liquid scintillator, and an instrumented tank of ultra-pure water. In this talk I will present the newest results from LZ’s search for dark matter using a 4.2 tonne-year exposure of the instrument, comprising the largest search exposure from a dark matter direct detection experiment to date.
