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: aps-april.onlineeventpro.freeman.com/live-stream/15…

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…

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: aps-april.onlineeventpro.freeman.com/live-stream/15…

LUX had to model its electric field very precisely to support the WIMP search result. All the details at arxiv.org/abs/1709.00095

Details of the LUX position reconstruction technique are out on the arxiv today. A non trivial problem to solve! arxiv.org/abs/1710.02752

The full exposure LUX paper from 2017 ranks 23rd in cited papers for the year... and #1 for papers published that same year! inspirehep.net/info/hep/stats…
