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…
Position Reconstruction in LUX
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
The position reconstruction method used in the analysis of the complete exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is presented. The algorithm is based on a…
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…
3D Modeling of Electric Fields in the LUX Detector
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
This work details the development of a three-dimensional (3D) electric field model for the LUX detector. The detector took data during two periods of searching for weakly interacti…
Ultra-low background mass spectrometry for rare-event searches
J. Dobson, C. Ghag, L. Manenti
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) allows for rapid, high-sensitivity determination of trace impurities, notably the primordial radioisotopes U and $^{23…
Constraining Radon Backgrounds in LZ
E. H. Miller, J. Busenitz, T. K. Edberg +8
The LZ dark matter detector, like many other rare-event searches, will suffer from backgrounds due to the radioactive decay of radon daughters. In order to achieve its science goal…
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 $^…
Low Background Gamma Spectroscopy at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
P. R. Scovell, E. Meehan, H. M. Araújo +12
The Boulby Underground Germanium Suite (BUGS) comprises three low background, high-purity germanium detectors operating in the Boulby Underground Laboratory, located 1.1 km undergr…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Technical Design Report
B. J. Mount, S. Hans, R. Rosero +259
In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the LZ detector to be built at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The LZ dark matter experiment is designed to achi…
Identification of Radiopure Titanium for the LZ Dark Matter Experiment and Future Rare Event Searches
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov +202
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will search for dark matter particle interactions with a detector containing a total of 10 tonnes of liquid xenon within a double-vessel cryostat. Th…
