Background Determination for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to cm for the spin-independent interactio…
Nuclear Recoil Calibration at Sub-keV Energies in LUX and Its Impact on Dark Matter Search Sensitivity
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +94
Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability…
Report of the Topical Group on Particle Dark Matter for Snowmass 2021
Jodi Cooley, Tongyan Lin, W. Hugh Lippincott +71
This report summarizes the findings of the CF1 Topical Subgroup to Snowmass 2021, which was focused on particle dark matter. One of the most important scientific goals of the next…
Snowmass Instrumentation Frontier IF08 Topical Group Report: Noble Element Detectors
Carl Eric Dahl, Roxanne Guenette, Jennifer L. Raaf +39
Particle detectors making use of noble elements in gaseous, liquid, or solid phases are prevalent in neutrino and dark matter experiments and are also used to a lesser extent in co…
First Dark Matter Search Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +344
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dak…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Calibrations and backgrounds for dark matter direct detection
Daniel Baxter, Raymond Bunker, Sally Shaw +48
Future dark matter direct detection experiments will reach unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Achieving this sensitivity will require more precise models of signal and background…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier Dark Matter Direct Detection to the Neutrino Fog
D. S. Akerib, P. B. Cushman, C. E. Dahl +24
We present a summary of future prospects for direct detection of dark matter within the GeV/c2 to TeV/c2 mass range. This is paired with a new definition of the neutrino fog in ord…
A Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
J. Aalbers, K. Abe, V. Aerne +591
The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leadi…
Operation and performance of a dual-phase crystalline/vapor xenon time projection chamber
S. Kravitz, H. Chen, R. Gibbons +3
We have built and operated a crystalline/vapor xenon TPC, with the goal of improving searches for dark matter. The motivation for this instrument is the fact that beta decays from…
Fast and Flexible Analysis of Direct Dark Matter Search Data with Machine Learning
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +97
We present the results from combining machine learning with the profile likelihood fit procedure, using data from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment. This app…
Cosmogenic production of Ar in the context of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +205
We estimate the amount of Ar produced in natural xenon via cosmic ray-induced spallation, an inevitable consequence of the transportation and storage of xenon on the Earth's…
