Lowering the radioactivity of the photomultiplier tubes for the XENON1T dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +95
The low-background, VUV-sensitive 3-inch diameter photomultiplier tube R11410 has been developed by Hamamatsu for dark matter direct detection experiments using liquid xenon as the…
Conceptual design and simulation of a water Cherenkov muon veto for the XENON1T experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +88
XENON is a dark matter direct detection project, consisting of a time projection chamber (TPC) filled with liquid xenon as detection medium. The construction of the next generation…
The neutron background of the XENON100 dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +74
The XENON100 experiment, installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), aims to directly detect dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Part…
Response of the XENON100 Dark Matter Detector to Nuclear Recoils
The XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +80
Results from the nuclear recoil calibration of the XENON100 dark matter detector installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy are presented. Data…
The distributed Slow Control System of the XENON100 Experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +72
The XENON100 experiment, in operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, was designed to search for evidence of dark matter interactions inside a volume of…
Measurement of the Scintillation Yield of Low-Energy Electrons in Liquid Xenon
E. Aprile, R. Budnik, B. Choi +10
We have measured the energy dependence of the liquid xenon (LXe) scintillation yield of electrons with energy between 2.1 and 120.2keV, using the Compton coincidence technique. A L…
Measurement of the Quantum Efficiency of Hamamatsu R8520 Photomultipliers at Liquid Xenon Temperature
E. Aprile, M. Beck, K. Bokeloh +12
Vacuum ultraviolet light sensitive photomultiplier tubes directly coupled to liquid xenon are being used to efficiently detect the 178 nm scintillation light in a variety of liquid…
Analysis of the XENON100 Dark Matter Search Data
The XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +71
The XENON100 experiment, situated in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs…
