Title: Inner-Shell Electron Recoil Discrimination in Xenon

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1433191

$$\bullet$$ Dark matter searches using time projection chambers (TPCs) rely on the ability to distinguish between nuclear and electron interactions $$\bullet$$ Xenon TPCs are specifically searching for a low energy nuclear recoil ( < 30 keV ) signal $$\bullet$$ To do this, these interactions must be discernable from the electron recoil background
