Radio-assay of Titanium samples for the LUX Experiment

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +63

We report on the screening of samples of titanium metal for their radio-purity. The screening process described in this work led to the selection of materials used in the construct…

LUXSim: A Component-Centric Approach to Low-Background Simulations

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +60

Geant4 has been used throughout the nuclear and high-energy physics community to simulate energy depositions in various detectors and materials. These simulations have mostly been…

After LUX: The LZ Program

D. C. Malling, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +71

The LZ program consists of two stages of direct dark matter searches using liquid Xe detectors. The first stage will be a 1.5-3 tonne detector, while the last stage will be a 20 to…

Data Acquisition and Readout System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment

D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +60

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

A search for light dark matter in XENON10 data

J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +34

We report results of a search for light (<10 GeV) particle dark matter with the XENON10 detector. The event trigger was sensitive to a single electron, with the analysis threshold…
