Investigation of the cryogenic scintillation of pure and doped sodium-iodine
M. Clark, F. Froborg, P. C. F. Di Stefano +1
We have studied the scintillation of pure and doped sodium iodide crystals handled in low humidity conditions under external and excitation from room temperature down to 4K…
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, D. Yu. Akimov +387
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation direct dark matter experiment with spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering sensitivity above cm for a WIMP mass…
Annual Modulation in Direct Dark Matter Searches
Francis Froborg, Alan R Duffy
The measurement of an annual modulation in the event rate of direct dark matter detection experiments is a powerful tool for dark matter discovery. Indeed, several experiments have…
Monte Carlo simulation of the SABRE PoP background
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +45
SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct dark matter search experiment based on an array of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals surrounded by a liquid scintillato…
The SABRE project and the SABRE PoP
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +46
SABRE aims to directly measure the annual modulation of the dark matter interaction rate with NaI(Tl) crystals. A modulation compatible with the standard hypothesis in which our Ga…
Speeding up complex multivariate data analysis in Borexino with parallel computing based on Graphics Processing Unit
X. F. Ding, M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller +104
A spectral fitter based on the graphics processor unit (GPU) has been developed for Borexino solar neutrino analysis. It is able to shorten the fitting time to a superior level com…
Response of photomultiplier tubes to xenon scintillation light
B. López Paredes, H. M. Araújo, F. Froborg +6
We present the precision calibration of 35 Hamamatsu R11410-22 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) with xenon scintillation light centred near 175 nm. This particular PMT variant was deve…
Limiting neutrino magnetic moments with Borexino Phase-II solar neutrino data
M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +104
A search for the solar neutrino effective magnetic moment has been performed using data from 1291.5 days exposure during the second phase of the Borexino experiment. No significant…
A search for low-energy neutrinos correlated with gravitational wave events GW150914, GW151226 and GW170104 with the Borexino detector
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +99
We present the results of a low-energy neutrino search using the Borexino detector in coincidence with the gravitational wave (GW) events GW150914, GW151226 and GW170104. We search…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Technical Design Report
B. J. Mount, S. Hans, R. Rosero +259
In this Technical Design Report (TDR) we describe the LZ detector to be built at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The LZ dark matter experiment is designed to achi…
Quenching Measurements and Modeling of a Boron-Loaded Organic Liquid Scintillator
Shawn Westerdale, Jingke Xu, Emily Shields +13
Organic liquid scintillators are used in a wide variety of applications in experimental nuclear and particle physics. Boron-loaded scintillators are particularly useful for detecti…
Seasonal Modulation of the Be Solar Neutrino Rate in Borexino
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +99
We detected the seasonal modulation of the Be neutrino interaction rate with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The period, amplitude, a…
SABRE: WIMP modulation detection in the northern and southern hemisphere
Francis Froborg
Measuring an annual modulation in a direct Dark Matter detection experiment is not only a proof of the existence of WIMPs but can also tell us more about their interaction with sta…
Scintillation efficiency measurement of Na recoils in NaI(Tl) below the DAMA/LIBRA energy threshold
Jingke Xu, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice +18
The dark matter interpretation of the DAMA modulation signal depends on the NaI(Tl) scintillation efficiency of nuclear recoils. Previous measurements for Na recoils have large dis…
