Results on the Spin-Dependent Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles on Nucleons from the Run 3 Data of the LUX Experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present the first experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from LUX data acquired in 2013. LUX is a dual-phase xenon time projection ch…

Improved Limits on Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from Reanalysis of 2013 LUX data

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +99

We present constraints on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP)-nucleus scattering from the 2013 data of the Large Underground Xenon dark matter experiment, including $1.4\ti…

Tritium calibration of the LUX dark matter experiment

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo +98

We present measurements of the electron-recoil (ER) response of the LUX dark matter detector based upon 170,000 highly pure and spatially-uniform tritium decays. We reconstruct the…

FPGA-based Trigger System for the LUX Dark Matter Experiment

D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo, X. Bai +100

LUX is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber designed to detect nuclear recoils resulting from interactions with dark matter particles. Signals from the detector a…

Radiogenic and Muon-Induced Backgrounds in the LUX Dark Matter Detector

D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo, X. Bai +77

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment aims to detect rare low-energy interactions from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The radiogenic backgrounds i…
