Investigation of background electron emission in the LUX detector

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, J. Balajthy | Summary: Dual-phase xenon detectors, as currently used in direct detection dark matter experiments, have observed elevated rates of background electron events in the low energy region. While this background negatively impacts detector performance […]
