This report highlights the accomplishments of the dark-matter group of the University of Rochester during the project period. During the grant period, all of our responsibilities for LUX were completed. Several papers describing the results of LUX analyses carried out by the Rochester group were published. The success of the Rochester trigger electronics, developed for LUX, resulted in it being selected to provide the digital platform for LZ. The PI is leading an excellent team of engineers, scientists, and students to provide the signal processing electronics, the control and monitoring system for the LZ detector, and the online computing infrastructure to process the LZ data and transfer them to the US Data Center at NERSC. During the grant period most of the R&D and prototyping of the LZ electronics was completed.
