  2. XMASS-II XMASS-I Overview XMASS-1.5 835 kg, 100 kgFiducial volume (FV) φ80 cm, 642 PMTs 5 ton,1 ton FV φ1.5 m, ~1000 PMTs 25 ton, 10 ton FV φ2.5 m 　・ Dark matter 　・ pp solar neutrino 　・ 0n2b decay ・ Dark matter search Y. Suzuki, hep-ph/0008296 • A purpose of XMASS-I and 1.5 experiment is dark matter search. • Commissioning data was taken with XMASS-I at the Kamioka Observatory in Japan between Nov. 2010 and May. 2012. And now refurbishment work is on going. • XMASS-II has multi purpose of dark matter, pp solar neutrino and 0ν2β decay.

  3. 800kg detector • XMASS is a single phase detector with ultra pure liquid xenon. • Background is reduced by a self-shielding of liquid xenon. • This detector has high light yield (~14p.e./keV) & low energy threshold (~0.3keVee). • This detector is sensitivefor electromagnetic signals.

  4. Detector configuration There is a this detector at Kamioka observatory. Elec. hut OFHC copper vessel Water tank Refrigerator 11m 835kg liq. xenon 642 PMTs ~ 1.2m 10m 700L reservoir 72 20inch PMTs (veto)

  5. Source calibration • Calibration sources are used for checking detector response. • The sources can be moved along the vertical axis in the detector. Stepping motor Linear and rotary motion feed-through Gate valve (*1) Ka X-rays from the copper used for housing. (*2) Ka X-rays from the tungsten used for housing. ~5m 0.21mmf for 57Co source 4mmf Top photo tube Source rod with a dummy source • We can use one of five sources. • Right hand animation shows a procedure of calibration data taking. First, installation of a source to a calibration rod, opening the top PMT, and insertion of the rod. 5

  7. Background • Background level of XMASS-I is a fewevent/day/keV/kg [dru] without fiducualization. • It is similar level with DAMA and CoGeNT. • The origin of BG for more than 5 keV were almost identified(lower figure). Also for less than 5 keV, Gore-Tex may explain the events. • Events originate at the inner surface must explain major part of the observed events..

  9. solar axionsearch • Axion is a hypothetical particle to solve the strong CP problem • Produced in the Sun and detected in the detector • XMASS is suitable to search because of a large mass and low BG Bremsstrahlung and Compton effect Axio-electric effect gaee gaee ma= Our data Max allowed 50 keV

  19. Cross section of DM100GeV Event Event/keV Scaled energy(13.9PE/keV) Reconstructed R (cm) # of events of no cut in DM100GeV MC are 82625. If these events occur in 55.6days, (explanation of this function in backup slide) Calculation of cross section DM100GeV: 82625/835/0.264/55.6 = 6.74 event/kg(Xe129)/day NA of Xe129 = 3.758×10-37×6.74×100/0.3 = 8.4×10‐34cm2 (8.4×102pb) When cross section is 8.4×102pb, inelastic events by DM100GeV occur 82625 events in 55.6days.

  20. Cross section of DM200GeV Event Event/keV Scaled energy(13.9PE/keV) Reconstructed R (cm) # of events of no cut in DM200GeV MC are 82640. If these events occur in 55.6days, (explanation of this function in backup slide) Calculation of cross section DM200GeV: 82640/835/0.264/55.6 = 6.74 event/kg(Xe129)/day NA of Xe129 = 3.758×10-37×6.74×200/0.5 = 1.0×10‐33cm2 (1.0×103pb) When cross section is 1.0×103pb, inelastic events by DM200GeV occur 82640 events in 55.6days.

  21. Cross section of DM400GeV Event Event/keV Scaled energy(13.9PE/keV) Reconstructed R (cm) # of events of no cut in DM400GeV MC are 82175. If these events occur in 55.6days, (explanation of this function in backup slide) Calculation of cross section DM200GeV: 82175/835/0.264/55.6 = 6.70 event/kg(Xe129)/day NA of Xe129 = 3.758×10-37×6.70×400/0.53 = 1.9×10‐33cm2 (1.9×103pb) When cross section is 1.9×103pb, inelastic events by DM400GeV occur 82175 events in 55.6days.
