The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
Signal Yields of keV Electronic Recoils and Their Discrimination from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Xenon
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +116
We report on the response of liquid xenon to low energy electronic recoils below 15 keV from beta decays of tritium at drift fields of 92 V/cm, 154 V/cm and 366 V/cm using the XENO…
The XENON1T Dark Matter Experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +142
The XENON1T experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is the first WIMP dark matter detector operating with a liquid xenon target mass above the ton-scale. Out o…
Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +115
In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon (Rn), thoron (Rn) and krypton (Kr). We det…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Optics, Receiver, and Polarimetry
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +35
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarimeter that flew over Antarctica in 2013. We describe the experiment's optical syst…
The EBEX Balloon-Borne Experiment - Gondola, Attitude Control, and Control Software
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad Aboobaker, Peter Ade +33
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. EBEX was the fir…
Temperature calibration of the E and B experiment
Francois Aubin, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +40
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation and to characterize the polarization…
Lowering the radioactivity of the photomultiplier tubes for the XENON1T dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +95
The low-background, VUV-sensitive 3-inch diameter photomultiplier tube R11410 has been developed by Hamamatsu for dark matter direct detection experiments using liquid xenon as the…
The performance of the bolometer array and readout system during the 2012/2013 flight of the E and B experiment (EBEX)
Kevin MacDermid, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +38
EBEX is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. During its eleven day science flight in the Austral Summer of 2…
Conceptual design and simulation of a water Cherenkov muon veto for the XENON1T experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +88
XENON is a dark matter direct detection project, consisting of a time projection chamber (TPC) filled with liquid xenon as detection medium. The construction of the next generation…
Software systems for operation, control, and monitoring of the EBEX instrument
Michael Milligan, Peter Ade, François Aubin +35
We present the hardware and software systems implementing autonomous operation, distributed real-time monitoring, and control for the EBEX instrument. EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon…
The EBEX Cryostat and Supporting Electronics
Ilan Sagiv, Asad M. Aboobaker, Chaoyun Bao +41
We describe the cryostat and supporting electronics for the EBEX experiment. EBEX is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave…
