The Design, Implementation, and Performance of the LZ Calibration Systems
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a tonne-scale experiment searching for direct dark matter interactions and other rare events. It is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) i…
The Data Acquisition System of the LZ Dark Matter Detector: FADR
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +213
The Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter detector is described. The signals from 745 PMTs, distributed across three subsystems, are sampled with 100-MH…
A backing detector for order-keV neutrons
A. Biekert, L. Chaplinsky, C. W. Fink +23
We have designed and tested a large-area (0.15~m) neutron detector based on neutron capture on \ce{^{6}Li}. The neutron detector design has been optimized for the purpose of ta…
Characterization of Gadolinium-loaded Plastic Scintillator for Use as a Neutron Veto
D. M. Poehlmann, D. Barker, H. Chagani +5
Scintillator doped with a high neutron-capture cross-section material can be used to detect neutrons via their resulting gamma rays. Examples of such detectors using liquid scintil…
Performance of the EDELWEISS-III experiment for direct dark matter searches
E. Armengaud, Q. Arnaud, C. Augier +60
We present the results of measurements demonstrating the efficiency of the EDELWEISS-III array of cryogenic germanium detectors for direct dark matter searches. The experimental se…
Signals induced by charge-trapping in EDELWEISS FID detectors: analytical modeling and applications
The EDELWEISS Collaboration, Q. Arnaud, E. Armengaud +47
The EDELWEISS-III direct dark matter search experiment uses cryogenic HP-Ge detectors Fully covered with Inter-Digitized electrodes (FID). They are operated at low fields ($<1\;\ma…
