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.…
Setting limits on blazar-boosted dark matter with xenon-based detectors
Erin Barillier, Laura Manenti, Knut Mora +5
Dual-phase xenon time projection chambers achieve optimal sensitivity for dark matter in the 10 to 1000 GeV/c mass range, but sub-GeV dark matter particles lack sufficient ener…
Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +217
We present searches for light dark matter (DM) with masses 3-9 GeV/ in the presence of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) from B solar neutrinos wit…
