Low-Energy Radon Backgrounds from Electrode Grids in Dual-Phase Xenon TPCs

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +264

The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful technology to detect rare interactions such as scatters of dark matter particles on nuclei. In particular, the buil…

Probing the Scalar WIMP-Pion Coupling with the first LUX-ZEPLIN data

J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi +200

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) may interact with a virtual pion that is exchanged between nucleons. This interaction channel is important to consider in models where…
