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…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
The Host Galaxy of GRB 990123
J. S. Bloom, S. C. Odewahn, S. G. Djorgovski +19
We present deep images of the field of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 990123 obtained in a broad-band UV/visible bandpass with the Hubble Space Telescope, and deep near-infrared images obta…
