Precision measurement of positron decay modes of Xe-125 in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +208

The radioisotope is a short-lived () activation product of the neutron calibrations performed in the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment. Subsequently, $^{12…

Pushing the Limits of Pulse Shape Discrimination in a Large Liquid Xenon Detector

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +213

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a direct-detection dark matter experiment, optimized to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) through WIMP-nucleon interactions.…

Low Energy Phonon Bursts Created By Fast Neutron Damage

A. Armatol, C. Augier, L. Bergé +67

Solid state athermal phonon calorimeters used in the search for low mass dark matter or coherent neutrino-nucleus interactions have long observed a large excess of events below sev…

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…

Measurement of the Muon Flux at the Sanford Underground Research Facility with the LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +209

High-energy cosmic-ray muons reaching deep underground laboratories can cause events in detectors that mimic signals expected from dark matter particles, neutrinos, or rare decays.…

Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206

The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…
