Dr Amy Cottle (University College London)6/3/25, 10:00 AMDM Direct DetectionInvited Talk
Direct detection experiments aim to shed light on the thus far elusive nature of dark matter through measuring its potential interactions with ordinary matter. This talk will provide an overview of these experiments and the status of the field. After briefly summarising the possible dark matter candidates, I will cover some of the detection strategies and recent results, before discussing the...

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. LZ is primarily designed to detect interactions of dark matter in the form of weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using a 7 tonne dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC). LZ has been acquiring science data since 2021 under stable operating conditions. Now, with a...

Direct detection experiments look for scattering events of dark matter with known Standard Model particles. Scattering on heavy nuclei is a promising approach to searching for heavy (above a few GeV) dark matter candidates. Liquid noble elements, like xenon, are especially suited because of their inert behavior, ability to be purified and be low in radioactivity.

Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers (CRESST) is a direct dark matter (DM) detection experiment located in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. The experiment operates scintillating crystals at cryogenic temperatures to search for nuclear recoils from DM particles and has achieved a threshold of $\sim$10 eV in its third phase (CRESST III). The...
