Search for two neutrino double electron capture of Xe and Xe in the full exposure of the LUX detector
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +96
Two-neutrino double electron capture is a process allowed in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This rare decay has been observed in Kr, Ba and more recently in…
3D Modeling of Electric Fields in the LUX Detector
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91
This work details the development of a three-dimensional (3D) electric field model for the LUX detector. The detector took data during two periods of searching for weakly interacti…
Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross section obtained from the complete LUX exposure
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97
We present experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from the total 129.5 kg-year exposure acquired by the Large Underground Xenon experime…
Results from a search for dark matter in the complete LUX exposure
D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +98
We report constraints on spin-independent weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon scattering using a 3.35e4 kg-day exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experime…
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…
A Detailed Look at the First Results from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Dark Matter Experiment
M. Szydagis, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +77
LUX, the world's largest dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber, with a fiducial target mass of 118 kg and 10,091 kg-days of exposure thus far, is currently the most sensitive di…
First results from the LUX dark matter experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo +100
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota), was cooled and…
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +91
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) collaboration has designed and constructed a dual-phase xenon detector, in order to conduct a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles(WIMP…
Technical Results from the Surface Run of the LUX Dark Matter Experiment
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, X. Bai +64
We present the results of the three-month above-ground commissioning run of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility located in Lea…
The LUX Prototype Detector: Heat Exchanger Development
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, S. Bedikian +47
The LUX (Large Underground Xenon) detector is a two-phase xenon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) designed to search for WIMP-nucleon dark matter interactions. As with all noble elemen…
An Ultra-Low Background PMT for Liquid Xenon Detectors
D. S. Akerib, X. Bai, E. Bernard +64
Results are presented from radioactivity screening of two models of photomultiplier tubes designed for use in current and future liquid xenon experiments. The Hamamatsu 5.6 cm diam…
LUXSim: A Component-Centric Approach to Low-Background Simulations
