Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206
The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…

Performance of an Optical TPC Geant4 Simulation with Opticks GPU-Accelerated Photon Propagation
NEXT Collaboration, I. Parmaksiz, K. Mistry +113
We investigate the performance of Opticks, a NVIDIA OptiX API 7.5 GPU-accelerated photon propagation tool compared with a single-threaded Geant4 simulation. We compare the simulati…

Reconstructing neutrinoless double beta decay event kinematics in a xenon gas detector with vertex tagging
NEXT Collaboration, M. Martínez-Vara, K. Mistry +108
If neutrinoless double beta decay is discovered, the next natural step would be understanding the lepton number violating physics responsible for it. Several alternatives exist bey…
