and p resentation of LUXZEPLIN Timothy John Sumner Imperial College London on behalf of the LUX and LZ collaborations Belgian IUAP Meeting UCL 19122013 1 Motivation Detection LUX Description. Setups of an experiment should have only one variable that is changed at a time By having only one variable that is changed you can be fairly cert ain that the results of the experime nt were caused by that one variable Three types of variable s are Title summarizes the project.
