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…

Search for annual and diurnal rate modulations in the LUX experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93

Various dark matter models predict annual and diurnal modulations of dark matter interaction rates in Earth-based experiments as a result of the Earth's motion in the halo. Observa…
