Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment
The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113
The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…
First in-beam studies of a Resistive-Plate WELL gaseous multiplier
S. Bressler, L. Moleri, M. Pitt +10
We present the results of the first in-beam studies of a medium size (1010 cm) Resistive-Plate WELL (RPWELL): a single-sided THGEM coupled to a pad anode through a resi…
First results of a large-area cryogenic gaseous photomultiplier coupled to a dual-phase liquid xenon TPC
L. Arazi, A. E. C. Coimbra, E. Erdal +6
We discuss recent advances in the development of cryogenic gaseous photomultipliers (GPM), for possible use in dark matter and other rare-event searches using noble-liquid targets.…
Exclusion of Leptophilic Dark Matter Models using XENON100 Electronic Recoil Data
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, F. Agostini +98
Laboratory experiments searching for galactic dark matter particles scattering off nuclei have so far not been able to establish a discovery. We use data from the XENON100 experime…
Liquid Hole Multipliers: bubble-assisted electroluminescence in liquid xenon
L. Arazi, E. Erdal, A. E. C. Coimbra +4
In this work we discuss the mechanism behind the large electroluminescence signals observed at relatively low electric fields in the holes of a Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM…
Lowering the radioactivity of the photomultiplier tubes for the XENON1T dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +95
The low-background, VUV-sensitive 3-inch diameter photomultiplier tube R11410 has been developed by Hamamatsu for dark matter direct detection experiments using liquid xenon as the…
