Simulations of Events for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment
ZEPLIN Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +194
The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search aims to achieve a sensitivity to the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section down to (1--2)\,pb at a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/…
3D Modeling of Electric Fields in the LUX Detector
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
This work details the development of a three-dimensional (3D) electric field model for the LUX detector. The detector took data during two periods of searching for weakly interacti…
On the Evaluation of Silicon Photomultipliers for Use as Photosensors in Liquid Xenon Detectors
Benjamin Godfrey, Tyler Anderson, Earl Breedon +12
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are potential solid-state alternatives to traditional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for single-photon detection. In this paper, we report on evaluat…
Identification of Radiopure Titanium for the LZ Dark Matter Experiment and Future Rare Event Searches
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov +202
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will search for dark matter particle interactions with a detector containing a total of 10 tonnes of liquid xenon within a double-vessel cryostat. Th…
Thermal and Tensile Strength Testing of Thermally-Conductive Adhesives and Carbon Foam
Maxwell Chertok, Minmin Fu, Michael Irving +7
Future collider detectors, including silicon tracking detectors planned for the High Luminosity LHC, will require components and mechanical structures providing unprecedented stren…
Reactive Bonding Film for Bonding Carbon Foam Through Metal Extrusion
Maxwell Chertok, Minmin Fu, Michael Irving +4
Future tracking detectors, such as those under development for the High Luminosity LHC, will require mechanical structures employing novel materials to reduce mass while providing…
