  1. XMASS experiment IDM2006, Rhodes, Greece 15th Sep. 2006 • Takeda for the XMASS collaboration • Kamioka Observatory, ICRR, • University of Tokyo • Introduction • 800kg detector design • Summary

  2. 1. Introduction Solar neutrino • What’s XMASS Multi purpose low-background experiment with liq. Xe • Xenon MASSive detector for solar neutrino (pp/7Be) • Xenon neutrino MASS detector (bb decay) • Xenon detector for Weakly Interacting MASSive Particles (DM search) Dark matter Double beta

  3. Why liquid xenon • Large Z (=54) Self-shielding effect • Large photon yield (~42 photons/keV ~ NaI(Tl)) Low threshold • High density (~3 g/cm3) Compact detector (10 ton: sphere with diameter of ~2m) • Purification (distillation) • No long life radioactive isotope • Scintillation wavelength (175 nm, detected directly by PMT) • Relative high temperature (~165 K)

  4. Key idea: self-shielding effect for low energy events External g ray from U/Th-chain g tracking MC from external to Xenon All volume 20cm wall cut 30cm wall cut (10ton FV) U-chain gamma rays BG normalized by mass Large self-shield effect 0 1MeV 2MeV 3MeV Blue : γ tracking Pink : whole liquid xenon Deep pink : fiducial volume Background are widely reduced in < 500keV low energy region

  5. Strategy of the scale-up 10 ton detector 100kg Prototype 800kg detector With light guide ～30cm ～80cm ～2.5m R&D • Vertex & energy reconstruction • Self shielding power • BG level Dark matter search Multipurpose detector (solar neutrino, bb …) We are here !

  6. Trend of Dark matter (WIMPs) direct searches • Recoiled nuclei are mainly observed by 3 ways Scintillation NaI, Xe, CaF2, etc. Phonon Ionization Ge Ge, TeO2, Al2O3, LiF, etc Ge, Si • Taking two type of signals simultaneously is recent trend CDMS, EDELWEISS: phonon + ionization • g ray reduction owing to powerful particle ID • However, seems to be difficult to realize a large and uniform detector due to complicated technique

  7. Super-K SNO KamLAND Strategy chosen by XMASS • Make large mass and uniform detector (with liq. Xe) • Reduce g ray BG by fiducial volume cut (self shielding) Same style as successful experiments of Super-K, SNO, KamLAND, etc.

  10. Status of 800 kg detector • Basic performances have been already confirmed using 100 kg prototype detector • Vertex and energy reconstruction by fitter • Self shielding power • BG level • Detector design is going using MC • Structure and PMT arrangement (812 PMTs) • Event reconstruction • BG estimation • New excavation will be done soon • Necessary size of shielding around the chamber
