Nuclear recoil energy scale in liquid xenon with application to the direct detection of dark matter
Peter Sorensen, Carl Eric Dahl
We show for the first time that the quenching of electronic excitation from nuclear recoils in liquid xenon is well-described by Lindhard theory, if the nuclear recoil energy is re…
Lowering the low-energy threshold of xenon detectors
P. Sorensen, J. Angle, E. Aprile +34
We show that the energy threshold for nuclear recoils in the XENON10 dark matter search data can be lowered to ~1 keV, by using only the ionization signal. In other words, we make…
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…
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…
