Performance of different photocathode materials in a liquid argon purity monitor
Laura Manenti, Linda Cremonesi, Francesco Arneodo +5
Purity monitor devices are increasingly used in noble gas time projection chambers to measure the lifetime of drifting electrons. Purity monitors work by emitting electrons from a…
Energy resolution and linearity of XENON1T in the MeV energy range
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +135
Xenon dual-phase time projection chambers designed to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles have so far shown a relative energy resolution which degrades with energy abov…
Simulations of Events for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment
ZEPLIN Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +194
The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search aims to achieve a sensitivity to the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section down to (1--2)\,pb at a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/…
Projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment to the decay of Xe
D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, A. Alqahtani +189
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will enable a neutrinoless double beta decay search in parallel to the main science goal of discovering dark matter particle interactions. We report…
Characterisation of a CeBr(LB) detector for space application
A. Di Giovanni, L. Manenti, F. AlKhouri +12
We describe the performance of a low background cerium bromide, CeBr(LB), scintillator crystal coupled to a Hamamatsu R11265U-200 photomult…
Search for Light Dark Matter Interactions Enhanced by the Migdal effect or Bremsstrahlung in XENON1T
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +131
Direct dark matter detection experiments based on a liquid xenon target are leading the search for dark matter particles with masses above 5 GeV/c, but have limited sens…
