Abstract
Abstract
In this paper we describe the development, testing, and characterization of three
low-emission rate AmLi neutron sources. The sources are used to calibrate the nuclear recoil
response of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment. The sources' neutron emission rate was
measured using 3He proportional tubes. The sources' gamma emissions were
characterized using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Source-validated Geant4
Monte Carlo simulations allowed to calibrate the Ge and neutron detectors' responses.
