Design and Performance of the first IceAct Demonstrator at the South Pole
M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +393
In this paper we describe the first results of a compact imaging air-Cherenkov telescope, IceAct, operating in coincidence with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) at the ge…
Transient processing and analysis using : Alert Management, Photometry and Evaluation of Lightcurves
J. Nordin, V. Brinnel, J. van Santen +18
Both multi-messenger astronomy and new high-throughput wide-field surveys require flexible tools for the selection and analysis of astrophysical transients. We here introduce the A…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
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…
Qualification Tests of the R11410-21 Photomultiplier Tubes for the XENON1T Detector
P. Barrow, L. Baudis, D. Cichon +10
The Hamamatsu R11410-21 photomultiplier tube is the photodetector of choice for the XENON1T dual-phase time projection chamber. The device has been optimized for a very low intrins…
DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector
J. Aalbers, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +116
DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) will be an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core.…
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…
