Measurement of the absolute reflectance of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) immersed in liquid xenon

F. Neves, A. Lindote, A. Morozov +5

The performance of a detector using liquid xenon (LXe) as a scintillator is strongly dependent on the collection efficiency for xenon scintillation light, which in turn is critical…

Results on the Spin-Dependent Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles on Nucleons from the Run 3 Data of the LUX Experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present the first experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from LUX data acquired in 2013. LUX is a dual-phase xenon time projection ch…
