Description
Dark matter and neutrino experiments are entering a new era defined by stunningly large and sensitive detectors. Dark matter direct detection experiments are now sensitive to elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, challenging our ability to isolate dark matter signals. In this talk, I will review the challenges and opportunities of dark matter direct detection at large scales. In particular, I will discuss the broad scientific goals for XLZD: a future xenon-based dark matter experiment. I will also discuss dark matter searches that leverage the large volumes of neutrino experiments to enhance detection prospects.
