Measurement of the Muon Flux at the Sanford Underground Research Facility with the LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +209
High-energy cosmic-ray muons reaching deep underground laboratories can cause events in detectors that mimic signals expected from dark matter particles, neutrinos, or rare decays.…
Searches for Light Dark Matter and Evidence of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering of Solar Neutrinos with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +217
We present searches for light dark matter (DM) with masses 3-9 GeV/ in the presence of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) from B solar neutrinos wit…
Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206
The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…
Flow-dependent tagging of Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +208
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow stat…
Gamma-ray background from rock: studies for a next-generation dark matter experiment based on liquid xenon
J. K. Tranter, V. A. Kudryavtsev, P. R. Scovell
Rare event experiments, such as those targeting dark matter interactions and neutrinoless double beta (0) decay, should be shielded from gamma-rays that originated in rock.…
