The Search for Light Dark Matter with the NEWS-G Detector
The NEWS-G direct dark matter search experiment uses spherical proportional counters (SPC) with light noble gases to explore low WIMP masses. The next phase of the experiment consists of a large 140 cm diameter SPC installed at SNOLAB. This talk will discuss several improvements of the detector, preliminary results of the last campaign, design and construction of the ECUME SPC, and the potential to achieve sensitivity reaching the neutrino floor in light dark matter searches.

Probing the dynamics of high-energy particles in our Universe with multi-messenger observations
Multi-messenger observations of cosmic rays, gamma rays, and neutrinos allow us to study the dynamics of high-energy particles in our Universe in unprecedented detail. This talk will present cases where multi-messenger observations have shown their strength, including the VHE gamma-ray flaring episode observed in the blazar TXS 0506+056 in coincidence with an IceCube neutrino event.

The Search for Dark Matter with the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
The LUX-ZEPLIN direct dark matter experiment uses a dual-phase time projection chamber to search for WIMP-nucleon scattering. The construction of the experiment was completed at SURF in 2021, with the first science run results in 2022. This talk will give an overview of the experiment and will explain the result from the first science run as well as what the future holds for the experiment.
