Dark Matter 101: The LUX-ZEPLIN crash course
Gain firsthand insights into the groundbreaking research of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment, which has recently outpaced global competitors in the quest to directly detect dark matter. This engaging session aims to demystify the complexities of dark matter research and highlight the profound implications that discoveries from LZ could have on our understanding of the universe.
