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…

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…
