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…
Study of wavelength-shifting chemicals for use in large-scale water Cherenkov detectors
M. Sweany, A. Bernstein, S. Dazeley +4
Cherenkov detectors employ various methods to maximize light collection at the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). These generally involve the use of highly reflective materials lining t…
Investigation of Large LGB Detectors for Antineutrino Detection
P. Nelson, N. S. Bowden
A detector material or configuration that can provide an unambiguous indication of neutron capture can substantially reduce random coincidence backgrounds in antineutrino detection…
NEST: A Comprehensive Model for Scintillation Yield in Liquid Xenon
M. Szydagis, N. Barry, K. Kazkaz +7
A comprehensive model for explaining scintillation yield in liquid xenon is introduced. We unify various definitions of work function which abound in the literature and incorporate…
Design and performance of the ADMX SQUID-based microwave receiver
S. J. Asztalos, G. Carosi, C. Hagmann +12
The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) was designed to detect ultra-weakly interacting relic axion particles by searching for their conversion to microwave photons in a resonant c…
Large-scale Gadolinium-doped Water Cerenkov Detector for Non-Proliferation
M. Sweany, A. Bernstein, N. S. Bowden +4
Fission events from Special Nuclear Material (SNM), such as highly enriched uranium or plutonium, can produce simultaneous emission of multiple neutrons and high energy gamma-rays.…
