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…
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…
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 $^…
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…
