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…
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +91
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) collaboration has designed and constructed a dual-phase xenon detector, in order to conduct a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles(WIMP…
Position Reconstruction in a Dual Phase Xenon Scintillation Detector
V. N. Solovov, V. A. Belov, D. Yu. Akimov +33
We studied the application of statistical reconstruction algorithms, namely maximum likelihood and least squares methods, to the problem of event reconstruction in a dual phase liq…
Performance data from the ZEPLIN-III second science run
P. Majewski, V. N. Solovov, D. Yu. Akimov +32
ZEPLIN-III is a two-phase xenon direct dark matter experiment located at the Boulby Mine (UK). After its first science run in 2008 it was upgraded with: an array of low background…
