Descripción
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is primarily designed to search for interactions of dark matter in the form of weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using a 7 tonne dual-phase xenon time projection chamber. LZ is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, where it has been acquiring science data since 2021. Recently, with a combined exposure of 4.2 tonne-years from all science campaigns, LZ has placed the most stringent limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section down to $2.2 \times 10^{-48}$ cm$^2$ for a 40 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP mass. This talk will discuss the current status of the LZ experiment and its latest endeavours in dark matter searches.
