The XENON1T dark matter experiment
Aprile, E.; Aalbers, J.; Agostini, F.; Alfonsi, M.; Amaro, Fernando D.; Anthony, M.; Antunes, B. P.; Arneodo, F.; Balata, M.; Barrow, P.; Baudis, L.TheXENON1Texperiment at theLaboratoriNazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is the first WIMP dark matter detector operating with a liquid xenon target mass above the ton-scale. Out of its 3.2 t liquid xenon inventory, 2.0 t constitute the active target of the dual-phase time projection chamber. The scintillation and ionization signals from particle interactions are detected with low-background photomultipliers. This ...

Performance of a large area avalanche photodiode in a liquid xenon ionization a...
Ni, K.; Aprile, E.; Day, D.; Giboni, K. L.; Lopes, J. A. M.; Majewski, P.; Yamashita, M.Scintillation light produced in liquid xenon (LXe) by alpha particles, electrons and gamma-rays was detected with a large area avalanche photodiode (LAAPD) immersed in the liquid. The alpha scintillation yield was measured as a function of applied electric field. We estimate the quantum efficiency of the LAAPD to be 45%. The best energy resolution from the light measurement at zero electric field is 7.5%([sigma...
