After LUX: The LZ Program
D. C. Malling, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +71
The LZ program consists of two stages of direct dark matter searches using liquid Xe detectors. The first stage will be a 1.5-3 tonne detector, while the last stage will be a 20 to…
Data Acquisition and Readout System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +60
LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the LUX detector are pro…
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +91
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) collaboration has designed and constructed a dual-phase xenon detector, in order to conduct a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles(WIMP…
Comparison of Three-jet Events in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at Center-of-mass Energy 1.8 TeV to Predictions from a Next-to-leading Order QCD Calculation
D. Acosta, T. Affolder, M. G. Albrow +410
The properties of three-jet events with total transverse energy greater than 320 GeV and individual jet energy greater than 20 GeV have been analyzed and compared to absolute predi…
Search for First-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks in collisions at =1.96 TeV
The CDF Collaboration, D. Acosta, J. Adelman +626
We report on a search for pair production of first-generation scalar leptoquarks () in collisions at =1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 203 $pb^{…
LUXSim: A Component-Centric Approach to Low-Background Simulations
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +60
Geant4 has been used throughout the nuclear and high-energy physics community to simulate energy depositions in various detectors and materials. These simulations have mostly been…
Test Beam Performance Measurements for the Phase I Upgrade of the CMS Pixel Detector
M. Dragicevic, M. Friedl, J. Hrubec +481
A new pixel detector for the CMS experiment was built in order to cope with the instantaneous luminosities anticipated for the Phase~I Upgrade of the LHC. The new CMS pixel detecto…
Radio-assay of Titanium samples for the LUX Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +63
We report on the screening of samples of titanium metal for their radio-purity. The screening process described in this work led to the selection of materials used in the construct…
Trapping in irradiated p-on-n silicon sensors at fluences anticipated at the HL-LHC outer tracker
W. Adam, T. Bergauer, M. Dragicevic +682
The degradation of signal in silicon sensors is studied under conditions expected at the CERN High-Luminosity LHC. 200 m thick n-type silicon sensors are irradiated with proton…
Selection of Tau Leptons with the CDF II Trigger System
S. Baroiant, M. Chertok, M. Goncharov +14
In Run II of the CDF experiment, traditional dilepton triggers are enriched by lepton (electrons or muons) plus track, di-tau and tau plus missing transverse energy triggers at Lev…
