Cosmogenic production of Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +205

We estimate the amount of Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth's…

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…

Improved Modeling of Electronic Recoils in Liquid Xenon Using LUX Calibration Data

The LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +96

We report here methods and techniques for creating and improving a model that reproduces the scintillation and ionization response of a dual-phase liquid and gaseous xenon time-pro…

Improved Measurements of the \b{eta}-Decay Response of Liquid Xenon with the LUX Detector

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +98

We report results from an extensive set of measurements of the \b{eta}-decay response in liquid xenon.These measurements are derived from high-statistics calibration data from inje…

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…

3D Modeling of Electric Fields in the LUX Detector

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

This work details the development of a three-dimensional (3D) electric field model for the LUX detector. The detector took data during two periods of searching for weakly interacti…
