Improved Limits on Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from Reanalysis of 2013 LUX data

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

We present constraints on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP)-nucleus scattering from the 2013 data of the Large Underground Xenon dark matter experiment, including $1.4\ti…

Tritium calibration of the LUX dark matter experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +98

We present measurements of the electron-recoil (ER) response of the LUX dark matter detector based upon 170,000 highly pure and spatially-uniform tritium decays. We reconstruct the…

Position Reconstruction of Bubble Formation in Liquid Nitrogen using Piezoelectric Sensors

Brian Lenardo, Yin Li, Aaron Manalaysay +5

Cryogenic liquids, particularly liquid xenon and argon, are of interest as detector media for experiments in nuclear and particle physics. Here we present a new detector diagnostic…

FPGA-based Trigger System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment

D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo, X. Bai +100

LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils resulting from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the detector a…
