Postdoctoral Researcher


Dongqing Huang dqhuang@physics.ucla.edu LZ, Calibration R&D
Yongheng Xu xuyongheng@physics.ucla.edu LZ,Calibration R&D In my research, I focus primarily on low energy electron recoil analysis on the LZ (LUX-ZEPLIN) experiment, aiming to explore the existence of unconventional dark matter and eventually enhance our understanding of the role of dark matter in our universe. Additionally, I utilize machine learning techniques for the LZ experiment to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis. My research also involves the commissioning of our local lab data acquisition system, where I contribute to the R&D efforts for novel calibration techniques and sources being developed for liquid xenon detectors.
