Dark matter search with the LZ experiment

该项目将涉及LUX-ZEPLIN(LZ)暗物质实验的数据分析。该实验目前正在运行，并正在收集数据。该探测器位于美国SURF地下实验室。数据分析将侧重于确定在实验中检测到的特定类型的背景事件。这将为正确解释实验数据所需的背景模型提供信息。这些数据还将与蒙特卡罗模拟的结果进行比较。博士生还将参与探测器操作期间的远程轮班。预计在SURF工作4-12个月的长期工作人员将参与探测器操作和数据监测。

The project will involve the data analysis from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment. The experiment is currently operational and is collecting data. The detector is located at the SURF underground Laboratory in the USA. Data analysis will focus on identifying specific types of background events that are detected in the experiment. This will inform the background model needed to correctly interpret experimental data. The data will also be compared with the results of Monte Carlo modelling. PhD student will also participate in remote shifts during detector operation. Long-term attachment at SURF for a period of 4-12 months is expected to participate in detector operation and data monitoring.
