Report of the Topical Group on Particle Dark Matter for Snowmass 2021
Jodi Cooley, Tongyan Lin, W. Hugh Lippincott +71
This report summarizes the findings of the CF1 Topical Subgroup to Snowmass 2021, which was focused on particle dark matter. One of the most important scientific goals of the next…
Constraints on Effective Field Theory Couplings Using 311.2 days of LUX Data
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +94
We report here the results of an Effective Field Theory (EFT) WIMP search analysis using LUX data. We build upon previous LUX analyses by extending the search window to include nuc…
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…
Improving sensitivity to low-mass dark matter in LUX using a novel electrode background mitigation technique
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +95
This paper presents a novel technique for mitigating electrode backgrounds that limit the sensitivity of searches for low-mass dark matter (DM) using xenon time projection chambers…
The Mini-CAPTAIN Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber
CAPTAIN Collaboration, C. E. Taylor, B. Bhandari +73
This manuscript describes the commissioning of the Mini-CAPTAIN liquid argon detector in a neutron beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), which led to a first meas…
Investigation of background electron emission in the LUX detector
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93
Dual-phase xenon detectors, as currently used in direct detection dark matter experiments, have observed elevated rates of background electron events in the low energy region. Whil…
