XENON100 Dark Matter Results from a Combination of 477 Live Days

XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +114

We report on WIMP search results of the XENON100 experiment, combining three runs summing up to 477 live days from January 2010 to January 2014. Data from the first two runs were a…

Search for Two-Neutrino Double Electron Capture of Xe with XENON100

The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +114

Two-neutrino double electron capture is a rare nuclear decay where two electrons are simultaneously captured from the atomic shell. For Xe this process has not yet been obs…

Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment

The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113

The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…

Search for Event Rate Modulation in XENON100 Electronic Recoil Data

The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +99

We have searched for periodic variations of the electronic recoil event rate in the (2-6) keV energy range recorded between February 2011 and March 2012 with the XENON100 detector,…

Exclusion of Leptophilic Dark Matter Models using XENON100 Electronic Recoil Data

The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, F. Agostini +98

Laboratory experiments searching for galactic dark matter particles scattering off nuclei have so far not been able to establish a discovery. We use data from the XENON100 experime…

Measurements of proportional scintillation and electron multiplication in liquid xenon using thin wires

E. Aprile, H. Contreras, L. W. Goetzke +7

Proportional scintillation in liquid xenon has a promising application in the field of direct dark matter detection, potentially allowing for simpler, more sensitive detectors. How…
