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…
The local dark sector. Probing gravitation's low-acceleration frontier and dark matter in the Solar System neighborhood
Joel Bergé, Laura Baudis, Philippe Brax +18
We speculate on the development and availability of new innovative propulsion techniques in the 2040s, that will allow us to fly a spacecraft outside the Solar System (at 150 AU an…
Temperature stability in the sub-milliHertz band with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +79
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a technology pioneering mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. In the low frequency regime (milli-H…
LISA Pathfinder Platform Stability and Drag-free Performance
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
The science operations of the LISA Pathfinder mission has demonstrated the feasibility of sub-femto-g free-fall of macroscopic test masses necessary to build a LISA-like gravitatio…
The MICROSCOPE mission: first results of a space test of the Equivalence Principle
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +40
According to the Weak Equivalence Principle, all bodies should fall at the same rate in a gravitational field. The MICROSCOPE satellite, launched in April 2016, aims to test its va…
Radiogenic and Muon-Induced Backgrounds in the LUX Dark Matter Detector
D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araujo, X. Bai +77
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment aims to detect rare low-energy interactions from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The radiogenic backgrounds i…
