The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +379
We describe the design and assembly of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, a direct detection search for cosmic WIMP dark matter particles. The centerpiece of the experiment is a large liqu…
The GBT 67 -- 93.6 GHz Spectral Line Survey of Orion-KL
D. T. Frayer, Ronald J. Maddalena, M. Meijer +14
We present a 67--93.6 GHz spectral line survey of Orion-KL with the new 4 mm Receiver on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The survey reaches unprecedented depths and covers the low-…
Previously Claimed(/Unclaimed) X-ray Emission Lines in High Resolution Afterglow Spectra
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5
We review the significance determination for emission lines in the Chandra HETGS spectrum for GRB020813, and we report on a search for additional lines in high resolution Chandra s…
Chandra Observations of the Optically Dark GRB030528
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5
The X-ray-rich GRB030528 was detected by the HETE satellite and its localization was rapidly disseminated. However, early optical observations failed to detect a counterpart source…
The CASA software for radio astronomy: status update from ADASS 2019
B. Emonts, R. Raba, G. Moellenbrock +28
CASA, the Common Astronomy Software Applications package, is the primary data processing software for the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and NSF's Karl G. Jans…
High Energy Observations of XRF 030723: Evidence for an Off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst?
N. R. Butler, T. Sakamoto, M. Suzuki +34
We report High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) Wide Field X-ray Monitor/French Gamma Telescope observations of XRF030723 along with observations of the XRF afterglow made usin…
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov +387
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering sensitivity above cm for a WIMP mass…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Conceptual Design Report
The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +192
The design and performance of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector is described as of March 2015 in this Conceptual Design Report. LZ is a second-generation dark-matter detector with the p…
First Dark Matter Search Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +344
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dak…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Technical Design Report
B. J. Mount, S. Hans, R. Rosero +259
In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the LZ detector to be built at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The LZ dark matter experiment is designed to achi…
Optical and X-ray Observations of the Afterglow to XRF030723
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +6
The X-ray-flash XRF030723 was detected by the HETE satellite and rapidly disseminated, allowing for an optical transient to be detected ~1 day after the burst. We discuss observati…
