Neutrino-initiated recoils · Interpretation
A Narrow Neutrino Window for the LZ Event

Why it is here
A two-step neutrino mechanism uses target-dependent thresholds to produce one xenon event without the large neutral-current signal expected in oxygen or carbon detectors.
Machine-assisted summary
Atmospheric neutrinos resonantly convert into a narrow N1 spectrum, which then up-scatters to N2 through a baryonic vector mediator; the tuned energy window permits roughly 250 keV xenon recoils while staying below thresholds in lighter neutrino-detector targets.
