Calibrating the scintillation and ionization responses of xenon recoils for high-energy dark matter searches

Teal Pershing, Daniel Naim, Brian Lenardo +8

Liquid xenon-based direct detection dark matter experiments have recently expanded their searches to include high-energy nuclear recoil events as motivated by effective field theor…

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…

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…

First direct detection constraint on mirror dark matter kinetic mixing using LUX 2013 data

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97

We present the results of a direct detection search for mirror dark matter interactions, using data collected from the Large Underground Xenon experiment during 2013, with an expos…
