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…

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross section obtained from the complete LUX exposure

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97

We present experimental constraints on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon elastic cross sections from the total 129.5 kg-year exposure acquired by the Large Underground Xenon experime…

First Searches for Axions and Axion-Like Particles with the LUX Experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, C. Aquino +98

The first searches for axions and axion-like particles with the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment are presented. Under the assumption of an axio-electric interaction in xeno…

Results from a search for dark matter in the complete LUX exposure

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +98

We report constraints on spin-independent weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon scattering using a 3.35e4 kg-day exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experime…

Status of the LUX Dark Matter Search

S. Fiorucci, D. S. Akerib, S. Bedikian +44

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter search experiment is currently being deployed at the Homestake Laboratory in South Dakota. We will highlight the main elements of desi…
