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…

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…

Search for New Physics via Low-Energy Electron Recoils with a 4.2 Tonne\times Year Exposure from the LZ Experiment

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +207

We report results from searches for new physics models through electron recoils using data collected by the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment during its first two science runs, with a tot…

Dark Matter Search Results from 4.2 Tonne-Years of Exposure of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +215

We report results of a search for nuclear recoils induced by weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter using the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) two-phase xenon time projection chambe…

Measurements and models of enhanced recombination following inner-shell vacancies in liquid xenon

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +215

Electron-capture decays of Xe and Xe, and double-electron-capture decays of Xe, are backgrounds in searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs)…
