HERETIX: A Hermetic, Enriched, Rare-Event Time Projection Chamber in Xenon
L. Althueser, N. Hargittai, J. Pienaar +4
Xenon-based time projection chambers have established themselves as one of the most powerful technologies for rare-event searches. HERETIX is a proposed multi-tonne liquid xenon ob…
Model-independent searches of new physics in DARWIN with a semi-supervised deep learning pipeline
J. Aalbers, K. Abe, M. Adrover +231
We present a novel deep learning pipeline to perform a model-independent, likelihood-free search for anomalous (i.e., non-background) events in the proposed next generation multi-t…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Sensitivity of the XLZD Rare Event Observatory
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
The XLZD collaboration is developing a two-phase xenon time projection chamber with an active mass of 60 to 80 t capable of probing the remaining WIMP-nucleon interaction parameter…
Atmospheric muon flux suppression at potential new low-radiation underground physics laboratory in Israel
Nadav Hargittai, Igor Zolkin, Yiftah Silver +5
The residual atmospheric muon flux was measured at a candidate site for a new underground, low-radiation physics laboratory beneath the Kokhav HaYarden national park in Israel. Loc…
