Improved Limits on Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from Reanalysis of 2013 LUX data

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present constraints on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP)-nucleus scattering from the 2013 data of the Large Underground Xenon dark matter experiment, including $1.4\ti…

Tritium calibration of the LUX dark matter experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +98

We present measurements of the electron-recoil (ER) response of the LUX dark matter detector based upon 170,000 highly pure and spatially-uniform tritium decays. We reconstruct the…

FPGA-based Trigger System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment

D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo, X. Bai +100

LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils resulting from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the detector a…

First proof of topological signature in the high pressure xenon gas TPC with electroluminescence amplification for the NEXT experiment

NEXT Collaboration, P. Ferrario, A. Laing +67

The NEXT experiment aims to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of xenon in a high-pressure Xe136 gas TPC using electroluminescence (EL) to amplify the signal from ionizatio…

Measurements of wavelength-dependent double photoelectron emission from single photons in VUV-sensitive photomultiplier tubes

C. H. Faham, V. M. Gehman, A. Currie +3

Measurements of double photoelectron emission (DPE) probabilities as a function of wavelength are reported for Hamamatsu R8778, R8520, and R11410 VUV-sensitive photomultiplier tube…
