Nuclear recoil response of liquid xenon and its impact on solar 8B neutrino and dark matter searches

Nuclear recoil response of liquid xenon and its impact on solar 8B neutrino and dark matter searches

Knowledge of the ionization and scintillation responses of liquid xenon (LXe) to nuclear recoils is crucial for LXe-based dark matter experiments. Current calibrations carry large uncertainties in the low-energy region below $\ensuremath{\sim}3\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{keV}}_{\mathrm{nr}}$ where signals from dark matter particles of $<10\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{\mathrm{c}}^{2}$ masses are expected. The coherent elastic …
