Background Determination for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to cm for the spin-independent interactio…
Nuclear Recoil Calibration at Sub-keV Energies in LUX and Its Impact on Dark Matter Search Sensitivity
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +94
Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability…
Snowmass Instrumentation Frontier IF08 Topical Group Report: Noble Element Detectors
Carl Eric Dahl, Roxanne Guenette, Jennifer L. Raaf +39
Particle detectors making use of noble elements in gaseous, liquid, or solid phases are prevalent in neutrino and dark matter experiments and are also used to a lesser extent in co…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
First Dark Matter Search Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +344
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dak…
A Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
J. Aalbers, K. Abe, V. Aerne +591
The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leadi…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: The landscape of low-threshold dark matter direct detection in the next decade
Rouven Essig, Graham K. Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky +90
The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress,…
Operation and performance of a dual-phase crystalline/vapor xenon time projection chamber
S. Kravitz, H. Chen, R. Gibbons +3
We have built and operated a crystalline/vapor xenon TPC, with the goal of improving searches for dark matter. The motivation for this instrument is the fact that beta decays from…
Fast and Flexible Analysis of Direct Dark Matter Search Data with Machine Learning
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97
We present the results from combining machine learning with the profile likelihood fit procedure, using data from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment. This app…
Cosmogenic production of Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +205
We estimate the amount of Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth's…
