The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a multi-tonne dark matter direct detection experiment operating 4850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. At the heart of LZ is a liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC) with an active mass of 7 tonnes that will search for the low energy signatures from interactions with WIMP dark matter in our galactic halo...

The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle resulting from the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, which is an elegant solution to the strong $CP$ problem of quantum chromodynamics. Because of its hypothetical abundance and weak coupling, it is also considered a promising candidate for dark matter, another big mystery of the universe. The Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (CAPP) of...

Despite the overwhelming observational evidence, dark matter has so far been elusive to all experimental searches. As an example, haloscope experiments, which are the most sensitive ones, are focusing on narrow resonant searches while trying to minimize the noise and increase the signal power. However, a broadband approach might be the key to the discovery of the axion. Axion Quark Nuggets...
