XENON100检测器

The XENON100 Detector

P. R. Scovell, XENON100 Collaboration

摘要:

氙100是一个液态氙(Lion)时间投影室,用于寻找假设的弱相互作用大质量粒子(WIMP)的罕见碰撞。氙100在意大利格兰萨索地下实验室的低本底屏蔽中运行,在电子/核反冲鉴别之前,在30公斤目标质量中低于100 \kevr的能量范围内,达到了前所未有的$<$ 0.15事件/天/ \kevr的本底水平。在2010年持续了100.9个生命日的暗物质运行中,没有发现WIMP存在的证据,不包括在WIMP质量为50 GeV/c $^{2}$时,90%置信度的标量WIMP-核子截面大于7 × 10 $^{-45}$ cm $^{2}$。2011年3月开始了新的运行,已经获得了超过200天的WIMP搜索数据。第二轮的结果预计将于2012年夏季公布。

英文摘要:

XENON100 is a liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber built to search for rare collisions of hypothetical, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Operated in a low-background shield at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy, XENON100 has reached the unprecedented background level of $<$0.15 events/day/\kevr in the energy range below 100 \kevr in 30 kg of target mass, before electronic/nuclear recoil discrimination. It found no evidence for WIMPs during a dark matter run lasting for 100.9 live days in 2010, excluding with 90% confidence scalar WIMP-nucleon cross sections above 7x10$^{-45}$ cm$^{2}$ at a WIMP mass of 50 GeV/c$^{2}$. A new run started in March 2011, and more than 200 live days of WIMP-search data have been acquired. Results of this second run are expected to be released in summer 2012.
