The design and performance of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector is described as of March 2015 in this Conceptual Design Report. LZ is a second-generation dark-matter detector with the potential for unprecedented sensitivity to weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) of masses from a few GeV/c2...
These detectors are, respectively, a Mirion (formerly Canberra) BE5030 broad-energy ultra-low background (ULB) HPGe detector,Footnote 1 a Mirion ULB SAGe well-detector, and a refurbished 100% relative efficiency Ortec p-type detector used previously for the ZEPLIN–II and ZEPLIN–III experiment...
The LUX and ZEPLIN collaborations have merged to construct a 7 tonne two-phase Xe dark matter detector, known as LUX-ZEPLIN or LZ. Chosen as one of the Generation 2 suite of dark matter direct detection experiments, LZ will probe spin-in... McKinsey,D N - iop 被引量: 7发表: 2016年...
Radioassay of Gadolinium-Loaded Liquid Scintillator and Other Studies for the LZ Outer Detector To date, no conclusive signal consistent with WIMP interactions has been observed.The LZ (LUX-ZEPLIN) experiment is a second generation direct dark matter... S Haselschwardt 被引量: 0发表: 2018年 Mea...
The process of figuring out what dark matter isn't received a major push today with the announcement of the first three months of data from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) detector. Unfortunately, LUX failed to find any dark matter, ruling out some possible detections by other experiments. ...
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment will search for dark matter particle interactions with a detector containing a total of 10 tonnes of liquid xenon. Surrounding the liquid xenon cryostat is an outer detector veto system with the primary aim of vetoing neutron single-scatter events in the liquid xenon ...
It is expected that the detector will reach a sensitivity for spin-independent elastic WIMP-nucleon cross-section of 1.6 x 10(-48) cm(2) at a mass of 40 GeV/c(2) in 1000 days of operation. Aside from Dark Matter particle interactions, the detector will also be sensitive to solar and...
WIMP-nucleon cross-section results from the second science run of ZEPLIN-III We report experimental upper limits on WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering cross sections from the second science run of ZEPLIN-III at the Boulby Underground L... D.Yu. Akimov a,H.M. Araújo b,E.J. Barnes c,... ...
