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…

First Searches for Axions and Axion-Like Particles with the LUX Experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, C. Aquino +98

The first searches for axions and axion-like particles with the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment are presented. Under the assumption of an axio-electric interaction in xeno…

Results on the Spin-Dependent Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles on Nucleons from the Run 3 Data of the LUX Experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present the first experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from LUX data acquired in 2013. LUX is a dual-phase xenon time projection ch…

Improved Limits on Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from Reanalysis of 2013 LUX data

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present constraints on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP)-nucleus scattering from the 2013 data of the Large Underground Xenon dark matter experiment, including $1.4\ti…
