Location: Slade Lecture Theatre, School of Physics, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia
When: 25th - 27th November 2024
Registration fee: Free
We warmly invite you to an Australia-based XLZD workshop. This will be held in Sydney, NSW the week following the nearby Annual Workshop for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics (CDM) in Wollongong, NSW.
Scientific programme
We are seeking participation from those currently active in the XLZD consortium or working on current generation liquid xenon-based experiments, in addition to local participants interested in getting involved in the future. The workshop has two broad aims:
Provide XLZD collaborators in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond an opportunity to come together, exchange ideas and seed projects working towards the current design goals of the consortium
Provide Australia-based early career researchers, particularly those in the CDM, the opportunity to learn the details of experimental, theoretical and analysis aspects of new physics searches with liquid xenon time projection chambers
The mornings will consist of a series of talks and lectures given by the organisers and invited contributors covering a number of topics of relevance to current and future work in the XLZD consortium. These will include topics such as
Physics opportunities including dark matter and neutrino physics
Instrumentation
Systems in current-generation experiments
Simulation and sensitivity studies
Siting considerations
The neutrino fog and its consequences
R&D focus for the coming years
Each afternoon there will be opportunities for working sessions between attendees for discussion and the planning of near-term projects including design-focussed sensitivity studies and local R&D work. In parallel to these will be a series of hands-on workshops given by the organisers to give less expert attendees experience that would enable them to make contributions towards CDM XLZD efforts in the future.
Registration
Formal registration is not currently required. Those interested in attending should fill out their details in the table below. Regrettably travel costs will not be covered, however catering will be provided during the days and for the workshop dinner.
