LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment Investigates Dark Matter Interactions in High Recoil Region

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is analyzing its 2026 search data, specifically investigating a nuclear recoil candidate at 248±23 keV for elastic scattering of neutral complex vector dark matter. This new analysis considers the dark matter's dimension-six toroidal electromagnetic moment, finding appreciable spectral weight in this recoil region and correlating different interaction branches. This research contributes to the ongoing search for dark matter particles.
