Tennyson, L., Tvrznikova arXiv: 1703.09144 · 2017-03-29 ## TL;DR The LZ Technical Design Report details the construction and specifications of the LZ dark matter detector, aiming for unprecedented sensitivity to WIMP interactions in underground physics research. ## Contribution This report presents the detailed design of the LZ detector, a new experiment with enhanced sensitivity to dark matter particles compared to previous detectors. ## Key findings - Designed to detect WIMP-nucleon interactions with cross section sensitivity of 3×10⁻⁴⁸ cm² - Provides a comprehensive technical blueprint for the LZ detector - Aims to advance dark matter detection capabilities ## Abstract In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the LZ detector to be built at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The LZ dark matter experiment is designed to achieve sensitivity to a WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross section of three times ten to the negative forty-eighth square centimeters. ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1703.09144/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1703.09144
