First constraint for atmospheric millicharged particles with the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +215
We report on a search for millicharged particles (mCPs) produced in cosmic ray proton atmospheric interactions using data collected during the first science run of the LUX-ZEPLIN e…
New constraints on cosmic ray-boosted dark matter from the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +201
While dual-phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) have driven the sensitivity towards weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) at the GeV/c^2 to TeV/c^2 mass scale, the sc…
The Design, Implementation, and Performance of the LZ Calibration Systems
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a tonne-scale experiment searching for direct dark matter interactions and other rare events. It is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) i…
The Data Acquisition System of the LZ Dark Matter Detector: FADR
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +213
The Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter detector is described. The signals from 745 PMTs, distributed across three subsystems, are sampled with 100-MH…
Probing the Scalar WIMP-Pion Coupling with the first LUX-ZEPLIN data
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) may interact with a virtual pion that is exchanged between nucleons. This interaction channel is important to consider in models where…
