Emulating Snake Locomotion: A Bioinspired Continuum Robot with Decoupled Symmetric Control Open

Lin Li, Jing Lyu, Youzhi Xu, Ke Sun, Steve Hung‐Lung Tu , et al. · 2025

Inspired by the musculoskeletal structure of snakes, this study proposes a cable-driven continuum robotic system, comprising a dual-segment continuum arm and a linear feeding module. The continuum arm provides four joint degrees of freedom…

Observation of Seven Astrophysical Tau Neutrino Candidates with IceCube Open

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams, Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla , et al. · 2024

We report on a measurement of astrophysical tau neutrinos with 9.7 yr of IceCube data. Using convolutional neural networks trained on images derived from simulated events, seven candidate ντ events were found with visible energies ranging …

A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics Open

J. Aalbers, Shehu AbdusSalam, K. Abe, Valentino Aerne, F. Agostini , et al. · 2022

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for we…

Erratum to: The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) radioactivity and cleanliness control programs Open

D. S. Akerib, C. Akerlof, D.Yu. Akimov, A. Alquahtani, S. Alsum , et al. · 2022

Effective field theory analysis of the first LUX dark matter search Open

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, J. Balajthy , et al. · 2021

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter search was a 250-kg active mass\ndual-phase time projection chamber that operated by detecting light and\nionization signals from particles incident on a xenon target. In December 2015,\nLUX re…

Extending light WIMP searches to single scintillation photons in LUX Open

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, J. Balajthy , et al. · 2020

Here, we present a novel analysis technique for liquid xenon time projection chambers that allows for a lower threshold by relying on events with a prompt scintillation signal consisting of single detected photons. The energy threshold of …

Liquid xenon scintillation measurements and pulse shape discrimination in the LUX dark matter detector Open

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, A. J. Bailey , et al. · 2018

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a leading candidate for dark matter and are expected to produce nuclear recoil (NR) events within liquid xenon time-projection chambers. We present a measurement of the scintillation timing …

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory - Contributions to ICRC 2015 Part V: Neutrino Oscillations and Supernova Searches Open

The IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham, M. Ackermann, J. Adams , et al. · 2015

Papers on neutrino oscillations and supernova searches submitted to the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2015, The Hague) by the IceCube Collaboration.

The LUX Experiment Open

D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, A. J. Bailey, J. Balajthy , et al. · 2015

We present the status and prospects of the LUX experiment, which employs approximately 300 kg of two-phase xenon to search for WIMP dark matter interactions. The LUX detector was commissioned at the surface laboratory of the Sanford Underg…

Multipole analysis of IceCube data to search for dark matter accumulated in the Galactic halo Open

M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann, J. Adams, J. A. Aguilar, M. Ahlers , et al. · 2015

Radon-related Backgrounds in the LUX Dark Matter Search Open

A. Bradley, D. S. Akerib, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai, A. J. Bailey , et al. · 2015

The LUX detector is currently in operation at the Davis Campus at the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD to directly search for WIMP dark matter. Knowing the type and rate of backgrounds is critical…
