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…
Constraints On Covariant WIMP-Nucleon Effective Field Theory Interactions from the First Science Run of the LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +201
The first science run of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, a dual-phase xenon time project chamber operating in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, USA, has re…
New constraints on ultraheavy dark matter from the LZ experiment
J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +196
Searches for dark matter with liquid xenon time projection chamber experiments have traditionally focused on the region of the parameter space that is characteristic of weakly inte…
First Constraints on WIMP-Nucleon Effective Field Theory Couplings in an Extended Energy Region From LUX-ZEPLIN
LZ Collaboration, J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib +197
Following the first science results of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating from the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead,…
A search for new physics in low-energy electron recoils from the first LZ exposure
The LZ Collaboration, J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib +200
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber. We report searches for new physics appearing through few-keV-scale…

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…
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…
Projected sensitivities of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment to new physics via low-energy electron recoils
The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +194
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter detector expected to obtain world-leading sensitivity to weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) interacting via nuclear recoils with a ~7-ton…
Improving sensitivity to low-mass dark matter in LUX using a novel electrode background mitigation technique
