Signal Yields of keV Electronic Recoils and Their Discrimination from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Xenon
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +116
We report on the response of liquid xenon to low energy electronic recoils below 15 keV from beta decays of tritium at drift fields of 92 V/cm, 154 V/cm and 366 V/cm using the XENO…
Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +115
In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon (Rn), thoron (Rn) and krypton (Kr). We det…
