Observation and applications of single-electron charge signals in the XENON100 experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +77
The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon in a time projection chamber (TPC) to measure xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter Weakly Intera…
First results from the LUX dark matter experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +100
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota), was cooled and…
Observation of the Dependence of Scintillation from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon on Drift Field
T. Alexander, H. O. Back, H. Cao +27
We have exposed a dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) to a low energy pulsed narrowband neutron beam, produced at the Notre Dame Institute for Structure and N…
The neutron background of the XENON100 dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +74
The XENON100 experiment, installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), aims to directly detect dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Part…
Response of the XENON100 Dark Matter Detector to Nuclear Recoils
The XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +80
Results from the nuclear recoil calibration of the XENON100 dark matter detector installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy are presented. Data…
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…
