Description
Liquid xenon time projection chambers have increased in size from kilogram to multi-tonne scale and provide the most stringent limit on WIMP dark matter-nucleon interactions for dark matter masses above $6~\textrm{GeV}/c^2$. These large detectors have simultaneously been able to reduce the background levels, due to radioactive impurities both in the detector structure and dissolved in the lXe by four orders of magnitude.
The XLZD collaboration is the next step in this evolution, where the XENON, LZ and Darwin collaborations have joined forces to design a single larger detector of 60 t or more of lXe for the next generation. This will allow probing the entire WIMP parameter space above where neutrinos become the dominant, indistinguishable background. I will present two primary science cases for XLZD— the search for WIMPs and neutrinoless double-beta decay searches.
