Impact of Nuclear Form Factors on Supernova Neutrino Detection in LZ

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a direct detection dark matter experiment, currently under construction $4850~$ft underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, SD, USA. At the core of the LZ design is a dual-phase liquid Xe time projection chamber (TPC) with a $7~$ton active mass. The LZ TPC is optimized to detect low-energy depositions making it sensitive to the neutrino emission from core-collapse supernovae. These neutrinos, with O($10~$MeV) kinetic energy, can interact via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) depositing O($1~$keV) in LZ. This presentation gives an overview of the LZ TPC, presents different CEvNS nuclear form factors and discusses the impact they have on LZ's sensitivities to these signals.
