Abstract / Description of output

ZEPLIN II is a two-phase (liquid/gas) xenon dark matter detector searching for WIMP-nucleon interactions. In this paper we describe the data acquisition system used to record the data from ZEPLIN It and the reduction procedures which parameterise the data for subsequent analysis. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
