The Electric Field Dependence of Single Electron Emission in the PIXeY Two-Phase Xenon Detector
E. Bodnia, E. P. Bernard, A. Biekert +12
Dual phase xenon detectors are widely used in experimental searches for galactic darkmatter particles. The origin of single electron backgrounds following prompt scintillation and…
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…
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…
The LUX Prototype Detector: Heat Exchanger Development
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +47
The LUX (Large Underground Xenon) detector is a two-phase xenon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) designed to search for WIMP-nucleon dark matter interactions. As with all noble elemen…
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…
Scintillation and charge extraction from the tracks of energetic electrons in superfluid helium-4
W. Guo, M. Dufault, S. B. Cahn +3
An energetic electron passing through liquid helium causes ionization along its track. The ionized electrons quickly recombine with the resulting positive ions, which leads to the…
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…
Visualization study of counterflow in superfluid helium-4 using metastable helium molecules
Wei Guo, Sidney B. Cahn, James A. Nikkel +2
Heat is carried in superfluid He-4 by the motion of the normal fluid, a counterflowing superfluid component serving to eliminate any net mass flow. It has been known for many…
Studying the normal-fluid flow in Helium-II using metastable helium molecules
W. Guo, J. D. Wright, S. B. Cahn +2
We demonstrate that metastable helium molecules can be used as tracers to visualize the flow of the normal fluid in superfluid He using a laser-induced-fluorescence technique…
Metastable helium molecules as tracers in superfluid liquid He
W. Guo, J. D. Wright, S. B. Cahn +2
Metastable helium molecules generated in a discharge near a sharp tungsten tip operated in either pulsed mode or continuous field-emission mode in superfluid liquid He are im…
