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…

Measurements and models of enhanced recombination following inner-shell vacancies in liquid xenon

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +215

Electron-capture decays of Xe and Xe, and double-electron-capture decays of Xe, are backgrounds in searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs)…

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…

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Sensitivity of the XLZD Rare Event Observatory

XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441

The XLZD collaboration is developing a two-phase xenon time projection chamber with an active mass of 60 to 80 t capable of probing the remaining WIMP-nucleon interaction parameter…

Dark Matter Search Results from 4.2 Tonne-Years of Exposure of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +215

We report results of a search for nuclear recoils induced by weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter using the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) two-phase xenon time projection chambe…

Cosmogenic production of Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +205

We estimate the amount of Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth's…

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment

The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +379

We describe the design and assembly of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, a direct detection search for cosmic WIMP dark matter particles. The centerpiece of the experiment is a large liqu…

Measurement of the Gamma Ray Background in the Davis Cavern at the Sanford Underground Research Facility

D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, S. K. Alsum +164

Deep underground environments are ideal for low background searches due to the attenuation of cosmic rays by passage through the earth. However, they are affected by backgrounds fr…
