Results of a Search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter Using 2013 LUX Data

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95

The scattering of dark matter (DM) particles with sub-GeV masses off nuclei is difficult to detect using liquid xenon-based DM search instruments because the energy transfer during…

A Path to the Direct Detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter Using Calorimetric Readout of a Superfluid He Target

S. A. Hertel, A. Biekert, J. Lin +2

A promising technology concept for sub-GeV dark matter detection is described, in which low-temperature microcalorimeters serve as the sensors and superfluid He serves as the t…

Search for annual and diurnal rate modulations in the LUX experiment

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +93

Various dark matter models predict annual and diurnal modulations of dark matter interaction rates in Earth-based experiments as a result of the Earth's motion in the halo. Observa…

LUX Trigger Efficiency

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +94

The Large Underground Xenon experiment (LUX) searches for dark matter using a dual-phase xenon detector. LUX uses a custom-developed trigger system for event selection. In this pap…

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…
