  11. All volume All volume 20cm FV 20cm FV 10cm FV (3kg) 10cm FV (3kg) Background data Miss-reconstruction due to dead-angle region from PMTs. MC simulation REAL DATA 3.9days livetime Event rate (/kg/day/keV) 10-2/kg/day/keV • MC uses U/Th/K activity from PMTs, etc (meas. by HPGe). • Good agreement (< factor 2) • Self shield effect can be seen clearly. • Very low background (10-2 /kg/day/keV@100 keV) 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  12. ? Miss reconstruction: dead angle from the PMTs • Scintillation light at the dead angle from PMTs give quite uniform 1p.e. level signal for PMTs. • This cause miss reconst-ruction as if the vertex is around the center of the detector. • Immersing PMTs into LXe and using spherical design solve this problem.  It will give low BG in the ROI for DM search HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT Inside the chamber is just copper surface 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  13. Internal background source Goal for 1ton detector 1x10-14 g/g 2x10-14 g/g 1ppt • Current results We observe the Bi-Po decay chain. • 238U: = (33±7)x10-14g/g • 232Th: < 23x10-14g/g • Kr: = 3.3±1.1 ppt Factor ~30, but may decay out further (In this time, there is no candidate events) Factor <~10 (under further study) Almost achieved by the distillation process 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  14. 222Rn decay out Aug.04 run preliminary 238U DT < 1ms 222Rn (1.8days) 3.5MeV 214Bi214Po210Pb b (Emax=3.3MeV) a (7.7MeV) 67ev t1/2 =164msec • 2 separate runs to check 222Rn decay (t1/2=3.8day) • 4th Aug. 0.8day 238U=(72+-11)x10-14 g/g • 10th Aug. 1.0day 238U=(33+-7)x10-14 g/g • Consistent with expected 222Rn decay ((30+-5)x10-14 ) DT: t1/2 = 141+-51msec DL 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  15. Distillation to reduce Kr (1/1000 by 1 pass) • Very effective to reduce internal impurities (85Kr, etc.) • Processed our Xe before the measurement. Lower temp. Original Xe: ~3 ppb Kr Off gas Xe: 330±100 ppb Kr (measured) ~1% ~3m Operation: 2 atm Processing speed: 0.6 kg / hour Design factor: 1/1000 Kr / 1 pass 13 stage of 2cmf Purified Xe: 3.3±1.1ppt Kr (measured after Kr-enrichment) Higher temp. ~99% 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  16. Possible DM search • Due to the dead angle from PMTs, it is hard to analyze E<100keV, 10cm FV data. • However, if we exclude such “wall effect” by putting some “light guide,” we can remove low energy mis-reconstruction effect. ~10-2/keV/kg/d, Eth~10keV, and ~3kg FV will be available. • This make possible to search for DM (sensitivity depends on its Eth, if Eth~10keV, ~0.6events/day can be expected if 10-5pb (SI), 100GeV DM  background ~0.6events/day for 20keV signal window) 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会

  18. Achieved 1 ton (100kg FV) detector for DM Search • Solve the miss reconst. prob.  immerse PMTs into LXe • Ext. g BG: from PMT’s  Self-shield effect demonstrated • Int. BG: Kr (distillation), Radon  Almost achieved • Neutron: water or LS active shield (1/104) To be studied “Full” photo-sensitive,“Spherical” geometry detector external g ray (60cm, 346kg) external g ray: (40cm, 100kg ) 8x10-5/keV/kg/d /kg/day/keV 80cm dia.

  20. Summary • XMASS: DM search with 100kg FV LXe • R&D by 3kg FV prototype is well going Demonstration of reconstruction, self shield, and low BG properties • Ext g rays: 10-2 /kg/day/keV  further self shield Kr: 3.3±1.1ppt requirement almost achieved. Radon (U) (33±7)10-14g/g (Th) < 23 10-14g/g  O(1/30) reduction is enough for 1ton det. • Further study for neutron is needed. • Within a few years, we are planning to build the 100kg FV detector and start to search for DM! 宇宙線研究所共同利用研究成果発表会
