220 eV阈下超低能锗探测器对低质量WIMP暗物质的限制

Limits on Low-Mass WIMP Dark Matter with an Ultra-Low-Energy Germanium Detector at 220 eV Threshold

Shin-Ted Lin, H. T. Wong

摘要:

用四通道超低能锗探测器,每个探测器的有效质量为5 g \cite{wimppaper},在50%的效率下实现了(220 $\pm$ 10)eV的能量阈值。这为质量低于10 GeV的WIMP暗物质提供了一个独特的探测器。利用国胜实验室的低本底资料,导出了星系晕中弱相互作用粒子的约束条件。自旋无关的WIMP核子和自旋相关的WIMP中子边界改善了以前的结果之间的3 $-$ 6 GeV的WIMP质量。这些结果,连同那些自旋相关的耦合,将被提交。预测了全尺寸实验的灵敏度。这种探测器技术使得新的中微子和暗物质实验可以利用未探索的亚千电子伏能量窗口。

英文摘要:

An energy threshold of (220$\pm$10) eV was achieved at an efficiency of 50% with a four-channel ultra-low-energy germanium detector each with an active mass of 5 g\cite{wimppaper}. This provides a unique probe to WIMP dark matter with mass below 10 GeV. With low background data taken at the Kuo-Sheng Laboratory, constraints on WIMPs in the galactic halo were derived. Both spin-independent WIMP-nucleon and spin-dependent WIMP-neutron bounds improve over previous results for WIMP mass between 3$-$6 GeV. These results, together with those on spin-dependent couplings, will be presented. Sensitivities for full-scale experiments were projected. This detector technique makes the unexplored sub-keV energy window accessible for new neutrino and dark matter experiments.
