The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs
Akerib, D. S.; Akerlof, C. W.; Akimov, D. Yu.; Alquahtani, A.; Alsum, S. K.; Anderson, T. J.; Angelides, N.; Araújo, H. M.; Arbuckle, A.LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMPnucleon scattering sensitivity above 1.4 × 10−48 cm2 for a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/c2 and a 1000 days exposure. LZ achieves this sensitivity through a combination of a large 5.6 t fiducial volume, active inner and outer veto systems, and radio-pure construction using materials with inherently low radioactivity content.

A generic method to assess species exploratory potential under climate change
Massiot-Granier, F.; Lassalle, G.; Almeida, P.R.; Aprahamian, M.; Castonguay, M.; Drouineau, H.; García-Berthou, E.; Laffaille, P.; Lechêne, A.Climate, by altering the spatio-temporal distributions of suitable habitats, leads to modifications in a multitude of species ranges. In recent years, the ability of species to adjust to changing climatic conditions is of growing concern. In the present study, a generic trait-based method to assess species exploratory potential under climate change is proposed. “Exploratory potential” is here defined as the cap...
