LUX Dark Matter

The LUX dark matter experiment is a 370 kg time projection chamber that aims to directly detect galactic dark matter for the first time 1 mile underground.

V2 of final LUX SI result paper is out, submitted to @PhysRevLett. Now includes 2013 exposure. 1.1e-46 cm2 @ 50 GeV https://t.co/7A0wCSSAzS

Was #apsapril already two weeks ago? Let's reminisce about Vetri Velan's excellent talk on characterizing detector performance and discriminating electron recoils from nuclear recoils. Watch here:

Continuing some highlights from last week's #apsapril meeting: Greg Rischbieter gave an excellent talk on the efforts to model backgrounds for Effective Field Theory dark matter searches. The session is available for APS members to view here:

L is for LUX!

LZ=LUX-ZEPLIN - L is our predecessor, the Large Underground Xenon experiment. LUX set world leading dark matter limits from 2013-2016. The detector is on display at @SanfordLab Visitor Center, but the collaboration still analyses data & publishes results! #AtoZofLZ

Some great LUX results at the #APSApril meeting this year. Dongqing Huang presented on record-setting light and charge yield measurements using a pulsed neutron generator. Watch the session here:

The full exposure LUX paper from 2017 ranks 23rd in cited papers for the year... and #1 for papers published that same year! https://t.co/WRm9x0f0yE

Details of the LUX position reconstruction technique are out on the arxiv today. A non trivial problem to solve! https://t.co/872OqzqvmR

LUX had to model its electric field very precisely to support the WIMP search result. All the details at https://t.co/HfsEOK7VQB

The LUX detector is now on permanent display at the @SanfordLab visitor center in Lead, SD. Another good reason to come visit!

Tonight on HBO @vicenews: an episode on dark matter, featuring LUX! Among other great instruments. Trailer: https://t.co/FDyTeDLB7d

[LUX Dark Matter @luxdarkmatter]

LUX is out of its underground lab and currently finishing disassembly & forensics. A number of these PMTs will be re-used by @lzdarkmatter !

[LUX Dark Matter @luxdarkmatter]

Our final SI dark matter result paper is now officially published on @PhysRevLett : https://t.co/Viar3vffht
