Noble liquid dark matter experiments have been leading the sensitivities for WIMP detection in the last decade. The DarkSide-50 experiment, using low-radioactive argon as a target, successfully achieved background-free operations in all three WIMP searches. The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, using 5.5 tons of xenon as a target, set the most strident limits for WIMP masses above 9 GeV in the world. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to dual-phase noble liquid TPC technology, followed by an exhibit of the main results from the DarkSide-50 and LUX-ZEPLIN experiments. Finally, I will briefly discuss the water-based liquid scintillator development at BNL and its potential application as a veto detector material for future dark matter experiments.
Originally from Xi'an China, Xin received his B.S. degree in physics from the University of California at Santa Barbara (advisor: Benjamin Monreal) in 2013. He then attended the Ph.D. program at Princeton University (advisor: Cristiano Galbiati) where he worked on the DarkSide-50 experiment from 2013 to 2018. After graduation, Xin accepted the Leon N Cooper Postdoctoral fellow award at Brown University and worked on the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment (PI: Richard Gaitskell). Since December 2021, he has been working as a research associate on water-based liquid scintillator R&D at Brookhaven National Lab.
