A Review of NEST Models for Liquid Xenon and Exhaustive Comparison to Other Approaches
M. Szydagis, J. Balajthy, G. A. Block +23
This paper will discuss the microphysical simulation of interactions in liquid xenon, the active detector medium in many leading rare-event searches for new physics, and describe e…
Nuclear Recoil Calibration at Sub-keV Energies in LUX and Its Impact on Dark Matter Search Sensitivity
LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum +94
Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
Transforming U.S. Particle Physics Education: A Snowmass 2021 Study
O. Bitter, E. V. Hansen, S. Kravitz +2
The pursuit of knowledge in particle physics requires constant learning. As new tools become available, new theories are developed, and physicists search for new answers with ever-…
A backing detector for order-keV neutrons
A. Biekert, L. Chaplinsky, C. W. Fink +23
We have designed and tested a large-area (0.15~m) neutron detector based on neutron capture on \ce{^{6}Li}. The neutron detector design has been optimized for the purpose of ta…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: The landscape of low-threshold dark matter direct detection in the next decade
Rouven Essig, Graham K. Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky +90
The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress,…
