Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206

The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…

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…

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…
