Description
Liquid-xenon based dark matter experiments have rapidly increased in size and sensitivity in recent years. They are at the forefront of the search for dark matter interactions with nuclei for dark matter masses above a few GeV/c². XLZD is the next step for this technology and combines the strengths of the XENON, LUX-ZEPLIN and DARWIN collaborations to construct a definitive experiment that can probe the entire accessible WIMP parameter space above the neutrino fog. XLZD will also perform a globally competitive neutrinoless double-beta decay search and be sensitive to a wide variety of other science. I will talk about the scientific goals of XLZD as well as the status of R&D and experimental design.
