Preparations Underway for LSST Camera and LZ Dark Matter Experiment

Construction is currently underway in SLAC building 620 to create a clean room for the eventual integration and testing of the LSST Camera and a liquid nobles test platform for the LUX-Zeplin dark matter experiment. Building 620 was the former home to SLAC’s BaBar detector, which operated from 1999 to 2008.
