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.…
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…
Low-Energy Radon Backgrounds from Electrode Grids in Dual-Phase Xenon TPCs
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +264
The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful technology to detect rare interactions such as scatters of dark matter particles on nuclei. In particular, the buil…
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.…
Quark Coalescence: Formation of Mesons Including Excited States
R. J. Fries, P. Virupapuram, J. Purcell +5
We discuss the quantum mechanics of coalescence of quark-antiquark pairs into mesons using a non-relativistic quark model. We derive the coalescence probabilities assuming a harmon…
