Zeplin-Iii, Dark Matter Wimps, Two-Phase Xenon Detectors

Scientific paper

ZEPLIN-III has been deployed at the Boulby Underground Laboratory and is now undergoing final commissioning tests ahead of the first fully-shielded run in search of dark matter WIMPs. We aim to improve on the discovery potential of other two-phase xenon detectors by means of lower background construction and better electron-nuclear recoil discrimination, partly aided by operation at a higher electric field. In this article we give an update on the status of the experiment and its future prospects in terms of sensitivity to WIMP-nucleon scalar interactions. We also highlight the potential of this technology for present and next-generation searches for rare events with small energy deposits.
