A Scintillator Purification System for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Detector
J. Benziger, L. Cadonati, F. Calaprice +21
Purification of the 278 tons of liquid scintillator and 889 tons of buffer shielding for the Borexino solar neutrino detector was performed with a system that combined distillation…
The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment
J. Benziger, L. Cadonati, F. Calaprice +17
Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering o…
Performance and Fundamental Processes at Low Energy in a Two-Phase Liquid Xenon Dark Matter Detector
T. Shutt, C. E. Dahl, J. Kwong +2
We extend the study of the performance of a prototype two-phase liquid xenon WIMP dark matter detector to recoil energies below 20 keV. We demonstrate a new method for obtaining th…
3D Position Sensitive XeTPC for Dark Matter Search
J. Angle, E. Aprile, F. Arneodo +30
The technique to realize 3D position sensitivity in a two-phase xenon time projection chamber (XeTPC) for dark matter search is described. Results from a prototype detector (XENON3…
Simultaneous Measurement of Ionization and Scintillation from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Xenon as Target for a Dark Matter Experiment
E. Aprile, C. E. Dahl, L. DeViveiros +7
We report the first measurements of the absolute ionization yield of nuclear recoils in liquid xenon, as a function of energy and electric-field. Independent experiments were carri…
The XENON Dark Matter Search Experiment
E. Aprile, K. L. Giboni, P. Majewski +14
The XENON experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) via their elastic scattering off Xe nuclei. A fiducial…
