First results from the LUX dark matter experiment at the Sanford underground research facility.
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota). The LUX cryostat was filled for the first time in the underground laboratory in February 2013. We report results of the first WIMP search data set, taken during the period from April to August 2013, presenting the analysis of 85....
متن کاملThe XENON Dark Matter Search Experiment
The XENON experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter in the form of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) via their elastic scattering off Xe nuclei. A fiducial mass of 1000 kg, distributed in ten independent liquid xenon time projection chambers(LXeTPCs) will be used to probe the lowest interaction cross section predicted by SUSY models. The TPCs are operated in dual (liquid...
متن کاملResults from a Search for Dark Matter in the Complete LUX Exposure.
We report constraints on spin-independent weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon scattering using a 3.35×10^{4} kg day exposure of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment. A dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with 250 kg of active mass is operated at the Sanford Underground Research Facility under Lead, South Dakota (USA). With roughly fourfold improvement in sensitivity...
متن کاملEMMA – A New Underground Cosmic-Ray Experiment
A new type of cosmic-ray experiment is under construction in the Pyhäsalmi mine in the underground laboratory of the University of Oulu, Finland. It aims to study the composition of cosmic rays at and above the knee region. The experiment, called EMMA, will cover approximately 150 m of detector area. The array is capable of measuring the multiplicity and the lateral distribution of underground ...
متن کاملWIMP Searches with Liquid Xenon: the XENON10 Experiment
The XENON experiment searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with liquid xenon (LXe) as the active target. The detector is a 3-D position sensitive Time Projection Chamber optimized to simultaneously measure the ionization and scintillation produced by a recoil event down to energies of 16 keV. The distinct ratio of the two signals for nuclear recoils arising from WIMPs and ne...
