SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Ethan Bernard (UC Berkeley)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ethan Bernard (UC Berkeley) \nTitle: The Construction of the LZ Dark Matter Detector \nAbstract: \n\nThe assembly of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter detector within the Homestake mine in Lead\, South Dakota is nearing completion.  This detector features a two-phase time projection chamber containing seven tons of liquid xenon specifically instrumented to detect low-energy nuclear recoils.  The detector is nested within an active veto system\, a passive water shield\, and 1500 m of rock overburden.  Low-background construction and efficient measurement of scintillation light and ionization electrons will allow detection of hypothetical WIMP (weakly interacting massive particle) dark matter to a sensitivity at least an order of magnitude beyond present limits.  This talk will provide an overview of the design and assembly of this detector with a focus on the unique engineering challenges posed by building a low-background noble liquid experiment at such a large scale.\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/92275279117\nMeeting ID: 922 7527 9117
