SUMMARY:It's a Marvel: LZ and the Next Era of Dark Matter Searches \, 
 NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Kim Palladino\, SLAC
DESCRIPTION:Evidence for the existence of Dark Matter from astronomica
 l observations abounds\, while experimentalists are still in pursuit o
 f a confirmed particle identity. We are on the brink of a new era of d
 ark matter candidate detection for both canonical weakly interacting m
 assive particles (WIMPs) and a greater variety of other candidates. Th
 e LZ detector will be a liquid xenon time projection chamber designed 
 to have world leading sensitivity to a wide range of WIMP masses. It w
 ill follow on the success of the LUX and ZEPLIN projects\, but pursue 
 a number of refinements\, including a large drift field over more than
  a meter\, requiring extensive testing in the System Test platform und
 er construction at SLAC. The field will not stay still as a LZ result 
 is expected\, and I will also preview the exciting dark matter studies
  to keep one's eyes out for at this start of a new\, marvelous era.
