Liquid Xenon is widely used in experiments searching for the Weakly interacting massive particle interactions (XENON-1T/XENON-nT, LUX/LZ, Panda-X) and neutrino-less double beta decay (EXO-200/nEXO). Efficient detection of the liquid Xenon scintillation light is required for both type of experiments for electron recoil rejection (dark matter search) and for achieving excellent energy resolution...

The Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST) software package provides a method for calculating light and ionization yields in noble element-based detectors. Since its introduction in 2011, results from various experiments have enabled improvements to NEST's underlying models. This talk introduces NEST2, a new version that implements these upgraded models, along with software improvements for...

LZ is a next generation dark matter search experiment, designed to significantly extend our sensitivity to WIMP dark matter candidates. At the core of LZ is a dual-phase Xe time projection chamber (TPC) with a 7 ton active volume. A cryogenic test platform with a ~100 kg TPC has been constructed at SLAC to test multiple subsystems at scales approaching or comparable to LZ. The platform focuses...

Metallic wire grids of various arrangements and designs are frequently employed to establish high voltage electrical
fields, with an important example being two-phase (gas-liquid) noble element time projection chambers,
such as the proposed LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) instrument. A generally undesirable feature of such constructions is the
production of light that results from electron emission due to...
