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…
Design of a high voltage delivery system for noble liquid time projection chambers
R. Saldanha, L. Pagani, E. Angelico +129
Noble liquid time projection chambers (TPCs) are a leading technology in the detection of ionizing radiation, particularly in applications such as accelerator neutrino physics, dar…
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.…
Enhanced sensitivity to trace U impurity of sapphire via coincidence neutron activation analysis
D. Chernyak, I. J. Arnquist, T. Daniels +9
Sapphire has mechanical and electrical properties that are advantageous for the construction of internal components of radiation detectors such as time projection chambers and bolo…
