Fast and Flexible Analysis of Direct Dark Matter Search Data with Machine Learning
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97
We present the results from combining machine learning with the profile likelihood fit procedure, using data from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment. This app…
Results on the Spin-Dependent Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles on Nucleons from the Run 3 Data of the LUX Experiment
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99
We present the first experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from LUX data acquired in 2013. LUX is a dual-phase xenon time projection ch…
Technical Results from the Surface Run of the LUX Dark Matter Experiment
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, X. Bai +64
We present the results of the three-month above-ground commissioning run of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility located in Lea…
Position Reconstruction in LUX
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
The position reconstruction method used in the analysis of the complete exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is presented. The algorithm is based on a…
First results from the LUX dark matter experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +100
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota), was cooled and…
Ultra-Low Energy Calibration of LUX Detector using Xe Electron Capture
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
We report an absolute calibration of the ionization yields($\textit{Q$_y$})$ and fluctuations for electronic recoil events in liquid xenon at discrete energies between 186 eV and 3…
