Observation and applications of single-electron charge signals in the XENON100 experiment
E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi, K. Arisaka +77
The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon in a time projection chamber (TPC) to measure xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter Weakly Intera…
Detection of Xe from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the upper troposphere above Germany
Hardy Simgen, Frank Arnold, Heinfried Aufmhoff +7
After the accident in the Japanese Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 large amounts of radioactivity were released and distributed in the atmosphere. Among them w…
Krypton assay in xenon at the ppq level using a gas chromatographic system and mass spectrometer
Sebastian Lindemann, Hardy Simgen
We have developed a new method to measure krypton traces in xenon at unprecedented low concentrations. This is a mandatory task for many near-future low-background particle physics…
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…
Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections from 225 live days of XENON100 data
XENON100 collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +75
We present new experimental constraints on the elastic, spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross section using recent data from the XENON100 experiment, operated in the Laboratori Naziona…
