Demonstration of photomultiplier tube operation at 29 K
James A. Nikkel, W. Hugh Lippincott, Daniel N. McKinsey
We describe measurements of gain, dark current, and quantum efficiency obtained while cooling a Hamamatsu R5912-02-MOD photomultiplier tube from room temperature to 29 K. We found…
Scintillation of liquid neon from electronic and nuclear recoils
J. A. Nikkel, R. Hasty, W. H. Lippincott +1
We have measured the time dependence of scintillation light from electronic and nuclear recoils in liquid neon, finding a slow time constant of 15.4+-0.2 us. Pulse shape discrimina…
3D Position Sensitive XeTPC for Dark Matter Search
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +30
The technique to realize 3D position sensitivity in a two-phase xenon time projection chamber (XeTPC) for dark matter search is described. Results from a prototype detector (XENON3…
Scintillation Response of Liquid Xenon to Low Energy Nuclear Recoils
E. Aprile, K. L. Giboni, P. Majewski +5
Liquid Xenon (LXe) is expected to be an excellent target and detector medium to search for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Knowledge of LXe…
The XENON Dark Matter Search Experiment
E. Aprile, K. L. Giboni, P. Majewski +14
The XENON experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) via their elastic scattering off Xe nuclei. A fiducial…
Radioactive Krypton Background Evaluation Using Atom Counting
D. N. McKinsey, C. Orzel
The beta-decay of is a significant radioactive background for experiments that use liquified noble gases to search for dark matter and measure the low-energy solar neu…
