The ZEPLIN II dark matter detector: data acquisition system and data reduction
Get PDFZEPLIN-II is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon dark matter detector searching
for WIMP-nucleon interactions. In this paper we describe the data acquisition
system used to record the data from ZEPLIN-II and the reduction procedures
which parameterise the data for subsequent analysis.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections from the first ZEPLIN-II data
Get PDFThe first underground data run of the ZEPLIN-II experiment has set a limit on
the nuclear recoil rate in the two-phase xenon detector for direct dark matter
searches. In this paper the results from this run are converted into the limits
on spin-dependent WIMP-proton and WIMP-neutron cross-sections. The minimum of
the curve for WIMP-neutron cross-section corresponds to 0.07 pb at a WIMP mass
of around 65 GeV.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, to be published in Physics Letters
