Calibration, event reconstruction, data analysis and limits calculation for the LUX dark matter experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95

The LUX experiment has performed searches for dark matter particles scattering elastically on xenon nuclei, leading to stringent upper limits on the nuclear scattering cross sectio…

Two distinct components of the delayed single electron background signals in liquid xenon emission detectors

P. Sorensen, K. Kamdin

Single electron background signals with millisecond timescales are known to follow ionizing events in liquid/gas xenon emission detectors. Due to the long timescale, these signals…

Position Reconstruction in LUX

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

The position reconstruction method used in the analysis of the complete exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is presented. The algorithm is based on a…

Ultra-Low Energy Calibration of LUX Detector using Xe Electron Capture

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

We report an absolute calibration of the ionization yields($\textit{Q$_y$})$ and fluctuations for electronic recoil events in liquid xenon at discrete energies between 186 eV and 3…

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…

Kr calibration of the 2013 LUX dark matter search

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a Kr calibration source. In this paper we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several $^…
