Search for dark matter particle interactions in an extended nuclear recoil energy window with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, B. J. Almquist +214

We report on a search for dark matter particles interacting with xenon nuclei in an exposure of 2.84 tonne-years with the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment. An extended nuclear recoil ene…

Study of few-electron backgrounds in the LUX-ZEPLIN detector

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +204

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment aims to detect rare interactions between dark matter particles and xenon. Although the detector is designed to be the most sensitive to GeV/--Te…

Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +206

The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, man…

Flow-dependent tagging of Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +205

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow stat…

Two-neutrino double electron capture of Xe in the first LUX-ZEPLIN exposure

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +202

The broad physics reach of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment covers rare phenomena beyond the direct detection of dark matter. We report precise measurements of the extremely rare dec…

The Design, Implementation, and Performance of the LZ Calibration Systems

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a tonne-scale experiment searching for direct dark matter interactions and other rare events. It is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) i…
