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…

Kr calibration of the 2013 LUX dark matter search

LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +91

LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a Kr calibration source. In this paper we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several $^…
