“…Real data from calibration (tritium, which was higher-statistics than DD, which needed to be kept for the critical NR calibration) are used for the pulse selection and pairing. Salt mitigates bias while allowing for scrutiny of individual events and has been already used to great effect in neutrino experiments and searches for free particles with fractional charge [27]. The salting was performed successfully, with the fake events being all removed at the end, but prior to the limit calculation events outside of the ER band were re-scrutinized.…”

The LUX collaboration new results advance the search for dark matter candidate particles in the 4 GeV /c 2 and higher mass range, with a maximal spin-independent 90% CL limit of 2 × 10 −46 cm 2 at 50 GeV /c 2 for its 332 live-day run, following after 6 × 10 −46 cm 2 cross-section for 33 GeV /c 2 mass from the re-analysis of its initial 95 live-day WIMP search data from December 2015. LUX has performed multiple advanced in situ neutron and beta/gamma calibrations of light and charge yields down to 1.1 and 0.7 keV, respectively, in nuclear recoil energy and 1.3 and 0.2 keV in units of electron recoil energy, thereby bypassing the past practice of extrapolating yields from ex situ calibrations or simulation models alone. For this conference proceeding, consequences of the new calibrations for the limit on the interaction cross-sections for low-mass WIMPs will be highlighted. Previous claims of a WIMP signal, from other detectors, are now even more strongly disfavored, assuming isospin invariance and the standard WIMP halo model. Both spin-independent and spin-dependent limits will be discussed, including the recent completion of LUX's 332-liveday blind run. Lastly, we highlight the conceptual design and future plan for its 10-ton-scale, next-generation successor LZ, which plans on achieving < 3 × 10 −48 cm 2 sensitivity for a WIMP of mass 40 GeV /c 2 .
