- This article set the world’s most stringent bounds on axion and axionlike-particle (ALP) interactions from direct detection experiments, utilising the axio-electric effect in xenon time projection chambers. Ghag led LUX’s primary Golden Analysis Group as convenor and extended the pulse identification and rare-event classification to include electron recoils, where axions/ALP signatures would appear. As the LUX ‘Backgrounds Task Force’ lead, Ghag was also responsible for development of and corrections to the experimental background model, against which the signal model in this work is evaluated.
