Extending light WIMP searches to single scintillation photons in LUX

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +122

We present a novel analysis technique for liquid xenon time projection chambers that allows for a lower threshold by relying on events with a prompt scintillation signal consisting…

Results of a Search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter Using 2013 LUX Data

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95

The scattering of dark matter (DM) particles with sub-GeV masses off nuclei is difficult to detect using liquid xenon-based DM search instruments because the energy transfer during…
