Investigation of background electron emission in the LUX detector
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93
Dual-phase xenon detectors, as currently used in direct detection dark matter experiments, have observed elevated rates of background electron events in the low energy region. Whil…
Discrimination of electronic recoils from nuclear recoils in two-phase xenon time projection chambers
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +94
We present a comprehensive analysis of electronic recoil vs. nuclear recoil discrimination in liquid/gas xenon time projection chambers, using calibration data from the 2013 and 20…
Simulations of Events for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment
ZEPLIN Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +194
The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search aims to achieve a sensitivity to the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section down to (1--2)\,pb at a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/…
Improved Modeling of Electronic Recoils in Liquid Xenon Using LUX Calibration Data
The LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +96
We report here methods and techniques for creating and improving a model that reproduces the scintillation and ionization response of a dual-phase liquid and gaseous xenon time-pro…
Improved Measurements of the \b{eta}-Decay Response of Liquid Xenon with the LUX Detector
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +98
We report results from an extensive set of measurements of the \b{eta}-decay response in liquid xenon.These measurements are derived from high-statistics calibration data from inje…
3D Modeling of Electric Fields in the LUX Detector
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
This work details the development of a three-dimensional (3D) electric field model for the LUX detector. The detector took data during two periods of searching for weakly interacti…
