Study of few-electron backgrounds in the LUX-ZEPLIN detector

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +204

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment aims to detect rare interactions between dark matter particles and xenon. Although the detector is designed to be the most sensitive to GeV/--Te…

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…

Enhancing the sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment to low energy signals

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, S. K. Alsum +184

Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillati…

Simulations of Events for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment

ZEPLIN Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +194

The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search aims to achieve a sensitivity to the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section down to (1--2)\,pb at a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/…

Projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment to the decay of Xe

D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, A. Alqahtani +189

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will enable a neutrinoless double beta decay search in parallel to the main science goal of discovering dark matter particle interactions. We report…

Search for two neutrino double electron capture of Xe and Xe in the full exposure of the LUX detector

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +96

Two-neutrino double electron capture is a process allowed in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This rare decay has been observed in Kr, Ba and more recently in…
