Enhancing the sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment to low energy signals
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, S. K. Alsum +184
Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillati…
Projected WIMP sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, S. K. Alsum +175
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a next generation dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate 4850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, So…
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…
Design and Performance of the XENON10 Dark Matter Experiment
E. Aprile, J. Angle, F. Arneodo +36
XENON10 is the first two-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) developed within the XENON dark matter search program. The TPC, with an active liquid xenon (LXe) mass of about 1…
Scintillation Pulse Shape Discrimination in a Two-Phase Xenon Time Projection Chamber
J. Kwong, P. Brusov, T. Shutt +3
The energy and electric field dependence of pulse shape discrimination in liquid xenon have been measured in a 10 gm two-phase xenon time projection chamber. We have demonstrated t…
