Current Results and Outlook for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a low-background, multi-detector dark matter experiment centered on a time projection chamber (TPC) utilizing a 7 t liquid xenon target to observe dark matter interactions. It is being operated 4850 ft underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota. This talk will give an overview of the LZ project and report on its current status, including results of a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using data from the first science run of the experiment. I will also provide an outlook of the scientific goals for the remainder of the experiment.
