Dylan Yurgionas with Dan Akerib and Tom ShuttModeling Gamma Ray Background from LUX Characterization of background is important for finding WIMP recoil events. Based on their cross sections, WIMPs will only scatter once inside the two phase xenon detector, LUX. Incident gamma rays from trace radioactive impurities in detector...

Capacitive level sensors for use in liquid xenon detectors
The LUX dark matter experiment liquid xenon detector uses an electric field created by grids to increase the drift velocity of electrons into xenon gas causing them to produce additional scintillation photons. These photons...
