Low-Energy Nuclear Recoil Calibration of XENONnT with a YBe Photoneutron Source
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +169
Characterizing low-energy, keV-range nuclear recoils near the detector threshold is one of the major challenges for large direct dark matter detectors. To that end, we have success…
Characterization of the Hamamatsu R12699-406-M4 Photomultiplier Tube in Cold Xenon Environments
M. Adrover, L. Baudis, A. Bismark +5
The Hamamatsu R12699-406-M2 is a multi-anode 2-inch photomultiplier tube that offers a compact form factor, low intrinsic radioactivity, and high photocathode coverage.…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
XENONnT WIMP Search: Signal & Background Modeling and Statistical Inference
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +161
The XENONnT experiment searches for weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter scattering off a xenon nucleus. In particular, XENONnT uses a dual-phase time projection…
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Sensitivity of the XLZD Rare Event Observatory
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
The XLZD collaboration is developing a two-phase xenon time projection chamber with an active mass of 60 to 80 t capable of probing the remaining WIMP-nucleon interaction parameter…
The neutron veto of the XENONnT experiment: Results with demineralized water
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +167
Radiogenic neutrons emitted by detector materials are one of the most challenging backgrounds for the direct search of dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particl…
