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…

Search for annual and diurnal rate modulations in the LUX experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93

Various dark matter models predict annual and diurnal modulations of dark matter interaction rates in Earth-based experiments as a result of the Earth's motion in the halo. Observa…

Case for the double-blind peer review

Lucie Tvrznikova

Peer review is a process designed to produce a fair assessment of research quality before the publication of scholarly work in a journal. Demographics, nepotism, and seniority have…

LUX Trigger Efficiency

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +94

The Large Underground Xenon experiment (LUX) searches for dark matter using a dual-phase xenon detector. LUX uses a custom-developed trigger system for event selection. In this pap…

Liquid xenon scintillation measurements and pulse shape discrimination in the LUX dark matter detector

The LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +90

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are a leading candidate for dark matter and are expected to produce nuclear recoil (NR) events within liquid xenon time-projection cham…

Projected WIMP sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment

D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof, S. K. Alsum +175

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a next generation dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate 4850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, So…
