Calibration, event reconstruction, data analysis and limits calculation for the LUX dark matter experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95

The LUX experiment has performed searches for dark matter particles scattering elastically on xenon nuclei, leading to stringent upper limits on the nuclear scattering cross sectio…

Measuring Nuclear Spin Dependent Parity Violation With Molecules: Experimental Methods and Analysis of Systematic Errors

Emine Altuntas, Jeffrey Ammon, Sidney B. Cahn +1

Nuclear spin-dependent parity violation (NSD-PV) effects in atoms and molecules arise from boson exchange between electrons and the nucleus, and from the magnetic interaction…

Ultra-Low Energy Calibration of LUX Detector using Xe Electron Capture

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

We report an absolute calibration of the ionization yields($\textit{Q$_y$})$ and fluctuations for electronic recoil events in liquid xenon at discrete energies between 186 eV and 3…

Kr calibration of the 2013 LUX dark matter search

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a Kr calibration source. In this paper we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several $^…
