On-sky validation of image-based adaptive optics wavefront sensor referencing

Nour Skaf, Olivier Guyon, Eric Gendron +14

Differentiating between an exoplanet signal and residual speckle noise is a key challenge in high-contrast imaging. Speckles are due to a combination of fast, slow and static wavef…

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross section obtained from the complete LUX exposure

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97

We present experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from the total 129.5 kg-year exposure acquired by the Large Underground Xenon experime…

Results from a search for dark matter in the complete LUX exposure

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +98

We report constraints on spin-independent weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon scattering using a 3.35e4 kg-day exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experime…

Tritium calibration of the LUX dark matter experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +98

We present measurements of the electron-recoil (ER) response of the LUX dark matter detector based upon 170,000 highly pure and spatially-uniform tritium decays. We reconstruct the…

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Conceptual Design Report

The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +192

The design and performance of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector is described as of March 2015 in this Conceptual Design Report. LZ is a second-generation dark-matter detector with the p…

Measurement and simulation of the muon-induced neutron yield in lead

L. Reichhart, A. Lindote, D. Yu. Akimov +36

A measurement is presented of the neutron production rate in lead by high energy cosmic-ray muons at a depth of 2850 m water equivalent (w.e.) and a mean muon energy of 260 GeV. Th…
