Description
Probing sub-GeV dark matter with liquid xenon TPCs is possible using the ionization-only signal. However, sensitivity with these detectors is currently hindered due to instrument backgrounds, delayed electron and photon emission. In this presentation, we show new data revealing the source of delayed emission. We discuss possible ways to mitigate this background for future experiments, and present sensitivity projections to sub-GeV dark matter candidates.
