Low-Energy Nuclear Recoil Calibration of XENONnT with a YBe Photoneutron Source

XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +169

Characterizing low-energy, keV-range nuclear recoils near the detector threshold is one of the major challenges for large direct dark matter detectors. To that end, we have success…
