A Review and Outlook for the Removal of Radon-Generated Po-210 Surface Contamination
V. E. Guiseppe, C. D. Christofferson, K. R. Hair +1
The next generation low-background detectors operating deep underground aim for unprecedented low levels of radioactive backgrounds. The deposition and presence of radon progeny on…
Calibration, event reconstruction, data analysis and limits calculation for the LUX dark matter experiment
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95
The LUX experiment has performed searches for dark matter particles scattering elastically on xenon nuclei, leading to stringent upper limits on the nuclear scattering cross sectio…
Low Background Materials and Fabrication Techniques for Cables and Connectors in the Majorana Demonstrator
M. Busch, N. Abgrall, S. I. Alvis +67
The MAJORANA Collaboration is searching for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of the nucleus Ge-76. The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is an array of germanium detectors deployed with the…
Contamination Control and Assay Results for the Majorana Demonstrator Ultra Clean Components
C. D. Christofferson, N. Abgrall, S. I. Alvis +67
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a neutrinoless double beta decay experiment utilizing enriched Ge-76 detectors in 2 separate modules inside of a common solid shield at the Sanford Und…
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…
The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (LEGEND)
LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, A. Abramov +230
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0) would show that lepton number is violated, reveal that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and provide information on neutr…
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…
Radon Mitigation for the SuperCDMS SNOLAB Dark Matter Experiment
J. Street, R. Bunker, E. H. Miller +3
A potential background for the SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter experiment is from radon daughters that have plated out onto detector surfaces. To reach desired backgrounds, understand…
Radon Daughter Plate-out onto Teflon
Eric S. Morrison, Eric H. Miller, Therese Frels +2
Radiopure materials for detector components in rare event searches may be contaminated after manufacturing with long-lived Pb produced by the decay of atmospheric radon. Ch…
Constraining Radon Backgrounds in LZ
E. H. Miller, J. Busenitz, T. K. Edberg +8
The LZ dark matter detector, like many other rare-event searches, will suffer from backgrounds due to the radioactive decay of radon daughters. In order to achieve its science goal…
The Status and Initial Results of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR Experiment
V. E. Guiseppe, N. Abgrall, S. I. Alvis +67
Neutrinoless double-beta decay searches play a major role in determining the nature of neutrinos, the existence of a lepton violating process, and the effective Majorana neutrino m…
Kr calibration of the 2013 LUX dark matter search
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a Kr calibration source. In this paper we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several $^…
Measurement of directional range components of nuclear recoil tracks in a fiducialised dark matter detector
J. B. R. Battat, E. J. Daw, A. C. Ezeribe +16
We present results from the first measurement of axial range components of fiducialized neutron induced nuclear recoil tracks using the DRIFT directional dark matter detector. Nucl…
