Models of ultra-heavy dark matter visible to macroscopic mechanical sensing arrays
Carlos Blanco, Bahaa Elshimy, Rafael F. Lang +1
In recent years, the sensitivity of opto-mechanical force sensors has improved leading to increased interest in using these devices as particle detectors. In this study we consider…
Application and modeling of an online distillation method to reduce krypton and argon in XENON1T
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +151
A novel online distillation technique was developed for the XENON1T dark matter experiment to reduce intrinsic background components more volatile than xenon, such as krypton or ar…
Emission of Single and Few Electrons in XENON1T and Limits on Light Dark Matter
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +152
Delayed single- and few-electron emissions plague dual-phase time projection chambers, limiting their potential to search for light-mass dark matter. This paper examines the origin…
Observing the Migdal effect from nuclear recoils of neutral particles with liquid xenon and argon detectors
Nicole F. Bell, James B. Dent, Rafael F. Lang +2
In recent years, dark matter direct detection experiments have spurred interest in the Migdal effect, where it is employed to extend their sensitivity to lower dark matter masses.…
Material radiopurity control in the XENONnT experiment
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +150
The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of the utmost importance for rare-event searches and thus critical to the XENONnT experiment. Results of an extensive rad…
Time variation of the atmospheric neutrino flux at dark matter detectors
Yi Zhuang, Louis E. Strigari, Rafael F. Lang
The cosmic ray flux at the lowest energies, GeV, is modulated by the solar cycle, inducing a time variation that is expected to carry over into the atmospheric neutri…
