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
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: aps-april.onlineeventpro.freeman.com/live-stream/15…
We LOVE this trailer. You will, too. LUX Dark Matter #DarkMatter x.com/BerkeleyLab/st…
Our final SI dark matter result paper is now officially published on Physical Review Letters : journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
LUX is out of its underground lab and currently finishing disassembly & forensics. A number of these PMTs will be re-used by LZ Dark Matter !
New results from axion and axion-like-particle searches using 2013 LUX data, submitted to Physical Review Letters : arxiv.org/abs/1704.02297
Here is LUX's final sensitivity to SD interactions. Preprint at arxiv.org/abs/1705.03380 and submitted to Physical Review Letters
The LUX detector is now on permanent display at the SanfordLab visitor center in Lead, SD. Another good reason to come visit!
