Exclusion of Leptophilic Dark Matter Models using XENON100 Electronic Recoil Data

The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, F. Agostini +98

Laboratory experiments searching for galactic dark matter particles scattering off nuclei have so far not been able to establish a discovery. We use data from the XENON100 experime…

Lowering the radioactivity of the photomultiplier tubes for the XENON1T dark matter experiment

E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +95

The low-background, VUV-sensitive 3-inch diameter photomultiplier tube R11410 has been developed by Hamamatsu for dark matter direct detection experiments using liquid xenon as the…

Conceptual design and simulation of a water Cherenkov muon veto for the XENON1T experiment

E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +88

XENON is a dark matter direct detection project, consisting of a time projection chamber (TPC) filled with liquid xenon as detection medium. The construction of the next generation…

First Axion Results from the XENON100 Experiment

The XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, F. Agostini +87

We present the first results of searches for axions and axion-like-particles with the XENON100 experiment. The axion-electron coupling constant, , has been probed by exploi…

A comment on estimating sensitivity to neutrino mass hierarchy in neutrino experiments

Ofer Vitells, Alex Read

Recently it has been proposed, in the context of experiments designed to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy, to use the average posterior probability of one of the hypotheses as a…

Observation and applications of single-electron charge signals in the XENON100 experiment

E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +77

The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon in a time projection chamber (TPC) to measure xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter Weakly Intera…
