The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +91
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) collaboration has designed and constructed a dual-phase xenon detector, in order to conduct a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles(WIMP…
Technical Results from the Surface Run of the LUX Dark Matter Experiment
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, X. Bai +64
We present the results of the three-month above-ground commissioning run of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility located in Lea…
Importance of upgraded energy reconstruction for direct dark matter searches with liquid xenon detectors
Peter Sorensen
The usual nuclear recoil energy reconstruction employed by liquid xenon dark matter search experiments relies only on the primary scintillation photon signal. Energy reconstruction…
The LUX Prototype Detector: Heat Exchanger Development
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +47
The LUX (Large Underground Xenon) detector is a two-phase xenon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) designed to search for WIMP-nucleon dark matter interactions. As with all noble elemen…
First Direct Detection Limits on sub-GeV Dark Matter from XENON10
Rouven Essig, Aaron Manalaysay, Jeremy Mardon +2
The first direct detection limits on dark matter in the MeV to GeV mass range are presented, using XENON10 data. Such light dark matter can scatter with electrons, causing ionizati…
Towards energy resolution at the statistical limit from a negative ion time projection chamber
Peter Sorensen, Mike Heffner, Adam Bernstein +2
We make a proof-of-principle demonstration that improved energy resolution can be obtained in a negative-ion time projection chamber, by individually counting each electron produce…
