Improved Modeling of Electronic Recoils in Liquid Xenon Using LUX Calibration Data
The LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +96
We report here methods and techniques for creating and improving a model that reproduces the scintillation and ionization response of a dual-phase liquid and gaseous xenon time-pro…
Directionally Accelerated Detection of an Unknown Second Reactor with Antineutrinos for Mid-Field Nonproliferation Monitoring
D. L. Danielson, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +67
When monitoring a reactor site for nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the presence of an unknown or hidden nuclear reactor could be obscured by the activities of a known reactor of…
Neutrino Detectors as Tools for Nuclear Security
Adam Bernstein, Nathaniel Bowden, Bethany L. Goldblum +3
For over 40 years, physicists have considered possible uses for neutrino detectors in nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, and fissile materials security. Neutrinos are an attra…
Measurement of the ionization yield from nuclear recoils in liquid xenon between 0.3 -- 6 keV with single-ionization-electron sensitivity
Brian Lenardo, Jingke Xu, Sergey Pereverzev +12
Dual-phase xenon TPC detectors are a highly scalable and widely used technology to search for low-energy nuclear recoil signals from WIMP dark matter or coherent nuclear scattering…
Extending light WIMP searches to single scintillation photons in LUX
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +122
We present a novel analysis technique for liquid xenon time projection chambers that allows for a lower threshold by relying on events with a prompt scintillation signal consisting…
Electron extraction efficiency study for dual-phase xenon dark matter experiments
Jingke Xu, Sergey Pereverzev, Brian Lenardo +5
Dual-phase xenon detectors are widely used in dark matter direct detection experiments, and have demonstrated the highest sensitivities to a variety of dark matter interactions. Ho…
