Enhancing the sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment to low energy signals
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, S. K. Alsum +184
Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillati…
Projected WIMP sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, S. K. Alsum +175
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a next generation dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate 4850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, So…
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…
A novel Kr tracer method for characterizing xenon gas and cryogenic distillation systems
S. Rosendahl, K. Bokeloh, E. Brown +9
The radioactive isomer Kr has many properties that make it very useful for various applications. Its low energy decay products, like conversion, shake-off and Auge…
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…
