Search for dark matter particle interactions in an extended nuclear recoil energy window with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, B. J. Almquist +214

We report on a search for dark matter particles interacting with xenon nuclei in an exposure of 2.84 tonne-years with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment. An extended nuclear recoil ene…

Photon--Dark Matter Elastic Scattering: An Effective-Operator Scan and First Operator-Resolved Sensitivity Estimates from the Galactic Halo

Trinity Rosebud Stenhouse, Asli Acar, Mikhail Bashkanov +3

Elastic photon--dark matter scattering attenuates gamma-ray spectra along a line of sight, probing the same operators as dark matter annihilation to photons but at a rate linear, r…

Commissioning and first results from the Cold Radon Emanation Facility

Emily Perry, Chamkaur Ghag, Maurits Van der Grinten +4

Radon emanation from detector materials is a critical background for next-generation rare event searches, in particular those using noble liquid targets. While highly sensitive scr…

The 20 GeV Galactic Halo Excess: Pixel-Level Confirmation and Consistency with Sub-TeV WIMP Annihilation

Trinity Rosebud Stenhouse, Chamkaur Ghag, Frank F. Deppisch

A recent analysis of 15 years of Fermi-LAT data reported a spherically symmetric, halo-like component of the Galactic diffuse emission that peaks near 20GeV. We independently repro…

Precision measurement of positron decay modes of Xe-125 in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +208

The radioisotope is a short-lived () activation product of the neutron calibrations performed in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment. Subsequently, $^{12…

Pushing the Limits of Pulse Shape Discrimination in a Large Liquid Xenon Detector

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +208

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a direct-detection dark matter experiment, optimized to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) through WIMP-nucleon interactions.…
