The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment's construction, commissioning, and performance
N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo, I. J. Arnquist +108
Background: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , a modular array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, was constructed to demonstrate backgrounds low enough to ju…
Nuclear Recoil Calibration at Sub-keV Energies in LUX and Its Impact on Dark Matter Search Sensitivity
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +94
Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability…
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…
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…
