High-energy cosmic-ray muons reaching deep underground laboratories can cause events in detectors that mimic signals expected from dark matter particles, neutrinos, or rare decays. Knowledge of the muon flux and energy spectrum is important for evaluating the background rate caused by muons and their secondaries. In this paper, we report the measurement of the cosmic-ray muon flux in the Davis Campus of the Sanford Underground Research Facility with the LUX-ZEPLIN detector. Using 366.4~days of exposure, the muon rate through the detector was measured as $10.94\pm0.17_\textrm{stat.}~\textrm{day}^{-1}$ with energy thresholds of 20~MeV in the inner xenon detector and 8 MeV in the outer liquid scintillator detector. This rate corresponds to a muon flux of $(5.09\pm0.08_\textrm{stat.}\pm0.10_\textrm{sys.})\times10^{-9}~\textrm{cm}^{-2}\textrm{s}^{-1}$ in the Davis Cavern.

A Detailed Look at the First Results from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) Dark Matter Experiment
LUX是世界上最大的双相氙时间投影室，基准目标质量为118公斤，迄今为止的曝光量为10，091公斤-天，是目前最灵敏的直接暗物质搜索实验。自旋无关的WIMP-核子散射截面的初始零结果限制于2013年10月发布，主要闪烁阈值为2 phe，大约为LUX的3 keVnr。该探测器已部署在南达科他州Lead的Sanford地下研究设施（SURF），是第一个实现WIMP横截面低于$10^{-45}$ cm $^{2}$的实验。在这里，我们提出了一个更深入的讨论，以更好地了解核反冲光和电荷产率的新的能量尺度，和校准源，包括新的内部氚源。我们发现LUX数据与其他结果的低质量WIMP信号解释相冲突。
Results from a search for dark matter in the complete LUX exposure
我们报告的限制自旋独立的弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMP）核子散射使用3.35e4千克-天的大型地下氙（LUX）实验曝光。在美国南达科他州Lead的Sanford地下研究设施中运行着一个有效质量为250 kg的双相氙时间投影室。相对于我们以前的结果，对高WIMP质量的灵敏度提高了大约四倍，这次搜索没有得到WIMP核反冲的证据。在WIMP质量为50 GeV/c^2时，在90%的置信水平下，排除了大于2.2 e-46 cm ^2的WIMP-核子自旋无关截面。当与先前报道的LUX暴露相结合时，这种排斥在50 GeV/c^2处增强到1.1 e-46 cm ^2。
我们描述的设计和组装的LUX-ZEPLIN实验，直接探测宇宙WIMP暗物质粒子的搜索。实验的核心是一个对低能核反冲敏感的大型液体氙时间投影室。背景的拒绝是由一个反渗透探测器和一个液体闪烁体外部探测器装有有效的中子捕获和标记钆增强。LZ位于美国南达科他州Lead的Sanford Underground Research Facility的4850'层的戴维斯洞穴中。我们描述了实验的主要子系统及其关键设计特点和要求。
