Calibration of Photomultiplier Arrays (2009)

Neves, F., Chepel, V., Akimov, D. Yu., Araujo, H. M., Barnes, E. J., Belov, V. A., ...

A method is described that allows calibration and assessment of the linearity of response of an array of photomultiplier tubes. The method does not require knowledge of the photomultiplier single...

Limits on the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections from the first science run of the ZEPLIN-III experiment (2009)

Lebedenko, V. N., Araujo, H. M., Barnes, E. J., Bewick, A., Cashmore, R., Chepel, V., ...

We present new experimental constraints on the WIMP-nucleon spin-dependent elastic cross-sections using data from the first science run of ZEPLIN-III, a two-phase xenon experiment searching for...

XAX: a multi-ton, multi-target detection system for dark matter, double beta decay and pp solar neutrinos (2008)

Arisaka, K., Wang, H., Smith, P. F., Cline, D., Teymourian, A., Brown, E., ...

A multi-target detection system XAX, comprising concentric 10 ton targets of 136Xe and 129/131Xe, together with a geometrically similar or larger target of liquid Ar, is described. Each is configured...

Measurements of neutrons produced by high-energy muons at the Boulby Underground Laboratory (2008)

Araujo, H. M., Blockley, J., Bungau, C., Carson, M. J., Chagani, H., Daw, E., ...

We present the first measurements of the muon-induced neutron flux at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. The experiment was carried out with an 0.73 tonne liquid scintillator that also served as an...

PROBING FOR WIMP INTERACTION RATES BELOW 10/kg/day AT BOULBY MINE. (2007)

Tovey Roberts Spooner, J. W. Roberts, M. J. Van, Den Putte, P. F. Smith, ...

Introduction The UK Dark Matter Collaboration has been using scintillation detectors for galactic WIMP Dark Matter searches since 1991 at the Boulby Mine (3600 mwe). New limits have recently been...

Contributors and Participants (2007)

Coordinators M. Diwan, W. Marciano, W. Weng, D. Beavis, M. Brennan, Mu-chu Chen, ...

This document contains figures in color. The figures should be viewed in color. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy, Contract No. DE-ACO2-98CH10886.

Measurement of single electron emission in two-phase xenon (2007)

Edwards, B., Araujo, H. M., Chepel, V., Cline, D., Durkin, T., Gao, J., ...

We present the first measurements of the electroluminescence response to the emission of single electrons in a two-phase noble gas detector. Single ionization electrons generated in liquid xenon are...

First limits on WIMP nuclear recoil signals in ZEPLIN-II: a two phase xenon detector for dark matter detection (2007)

Alner, G. J., Araujo, H. M., Bewick, A., Bungau, C., Camanzi, B., Carson, M. J., ...

Results are presented from the first underground data run of ZEPLIN-II, a 31 kg two phase xenon detector developed to observe nuclear recoils from hypothetical weakly interacting massive dark matter...

Safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of linezolid for treatment of resistant Gram-positive infections in cancer patients with neutropenia (2003)

Smith, P. F., Birmingham, M. C., Noskin, G. A., Meagher, A. K., Forrest, A., Rayner, C. R., ...

Background: Linezolid is a recently approved oxazalidinone with extended activity against Gram-positive bacteria. We evaluated the results of linezolid therapy in neutropenic cancer patients with...

A search for anomalously heavy isotopes of low Z nuclei (1987)

Hemmick, T. K., Elmore, D., Kubik, P. W., Olsen, S. L., Gentile, T., Nitz, Dave F., ...

We present the results of a search for anomalously heavy isotopes of light elements using an electrostatic charged particle spectrometer in conjunction with the MP tandem accelerator facility at the...
