Search for Event Rate Modulation in XENON100 Electronic Recoil Data
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +99
We have searched for periodic variations of the electronic recoil event rate in the (2-6) keV energy range recorded between February 2011 and March 2012 with the XENON100 detector,…
Measurements of proportional scintillation and electron multiplication in liquid xenon using thin wires
E. Aprile, H. Contreras, L. W. Goetzke +7
Proportional scintillation in liquid xenon has a promising application in the field of direct dark matter detection, potentially allowing for simpler, more sensitive detectors. How…
The distributed Slow Control System of the XENON100 Experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +72
The XENON100 experiment, in operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, was designed to search for evidence of dark matter interactions inside a volume of…
Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment
The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113
The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…
Dark Matter Results from 225 Live Days of XENON100 Data
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +75
We report on a search for particle dark matter with the XENON100 experiment, operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) for 13 months during 2011 and 2012. XENON100…
Conceptual design and simulation of a water Cherenkov muon veto for the XENON1T experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +88
XENON is a dark matter direct detection project, consisting of a time projection chamber (TPC) filled with liquid xenon as detection medium. The construction of the next generation…
