Thermodynamic Stability of Xenon-Doped Liquid Argon Detectors

Ethan P. Bernard, Eli Mizrachi, James Kingston +12

Liquid argon detectors are employed in a wide variety of nuclear and particle physics experiments. The addition of small quantities of xenon to argon modifies its scintillation, io…

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/

Analysis of Kr Prompt Scintillation Signals in the PIXeY Detector

A. G. Singh, A. Biekert, E. Bernard +12

Prompt scintillation signals from Kr calibration sources are a useful metric to calibrate the spatial variation of light collection efficiency and electric field magnitude…

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…
