Design, construction, and operation of a 30-ton Water-based Liquid scintillator detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory
S. Andrade, A. Baldoni, D. F. Cowen +25
Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) was proposed over a decade ago as a novel detector medium that might allow the separation and tuning of the relative ratio of the Cherenkov a…
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…
New Deep Learning Data Analysis Method for PROSPECT using GAPE: Genetic Algorithm Powered Evolution
M. Adriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Bass +40
We propose a genetic algorithm powered evolution (GAPE) method to create deep learning solutions for energy and position estimation for reactor antineutrino interactions in the Pre…
Cosmogenic Neutron Production in Water at SNO+
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. Abreu +112
Accurate measurement of the cosmogenic muon-induced neutron yield is crucial for constraining a significant background in a wide range of low-energy physics searches. Although prev…
Pushing the Limits of Pulse Shape Discrimination in a Large Liquid Xenon Detector
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +213
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.…
Study of few-electron backgrounds in the LUX-ZEPLIN detector
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +204
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment aims to detect rare interactions between dark matter particles and xenon. Although the detector is designed to be the most sensitive to GeV/--Te…
