Performance Study of Charcoal-based Radon Reduction Systems for Ultraclean Rare Event Detectors
M. Arthurs, D. Q. Huang, C. Amarasinghe +2
The continuous emanation of radon due to trace amounts of uranium and thorium in detector materials introduces radon to the active detection volume of low-background rare event sea…
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov +387
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering sensitivity above cm for a WIMP mass…
Investigation of background electron emission in the LUX detector
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93
Dual-phase xenon detectors, as currently used in direct detection dark matter experiments, have observed elevated rates of background electron events in the low energy region. Whil…
An Effective Field Theory Analysis of the First LUX Dark Matter Search
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +94
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter search was a 250-kg active mass dual-phase time projection chamber that operated by detecting light and ionization signals from partic…
