Results of a Search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter Using 2013 LUX Data
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95
The scattering of dark matter (DM) particles with sub-GeV masses off nuclei is difficult to detect using liquid xenon-based DM search instruments because the energy transfer during…
Search for annual and diurnal rate modulations in the LUX experiment
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93
Various dark matter models predict annual and diurnal modulations of dark matter interaction rates in Earth-based experiments as a result of the Earth's motion in the halo. Observa…
Liquid xenon scintillation measurements and pulse shape discrimination in the LUX dark matter detector
The LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +90
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are a leading candidate for dark matter and are expected to produce nuclear recoil (NR) events within liquid xenon time-projection cham…
Study and mitigation of spurious electron emission from cathodic wires in noble liquid time projection chambers
A. Tomás, H. M. Araújo, A. J. Bailey +4
Noble liquid radiation detectors have long been afflicted by spurious electron emission from their cathodic electrodes. This phenomenon must be understood and mitigated in the next…
Response of photomultiplier tubes to xenon scintillation light
B. López Paredes, H. M. Araújo, F. Froborg +6
We present the precision calibration of 35 Hamamatsu R11410-22 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) with xenon scintillation light centred near 175 nm. This particular PMT variant was deve…
