1. Direct DM search with LXe detector
Characteristic of liquid xenon z -100 degree Celsius: easy to liquefy and handing. z High density (~3 g/cm3): compact detector. (~2m dia. for 10t scale) z Large Z (= 54): effective self shielding for external BG. z Large photon yield: low threshold can be achieved. z Scintillation wavelength ~175nm: directly detected by PMTs z Purification: absorption material (ex. water and oxygen) can be purified by Zr getter.

Single phase vs. double phase LXe detector z Single phase :
– DM signal (uniformly distributed) are identified by fiducial volume analysis.
– Also PSD may reduce background. • Scintillation decay time difference
between nuclear recoil (DM) and electron recoil can be used.
z Double phase :
– DM signal (nuclear recoil) are identified by fiducial volume and
ionization(S2) / scintillation(S1) ratio.
7
Advantage of single phase detector z Simple and good scalability No need for complicate structure like an HV z BG reduction by self-shielding Effective even for neutron BG (lower figure) z High light yield & low energy threshold (XMASS-I: 14.7 pe/keV and 0.3 keV threshold) z Sensitive for e/γ events

Bosonic super-WIMP (1/3)
23
PRL 113 (2014) 121301 z Search for lighter and more weakly interacting particles is attracting attention, because
• So far no evidence of SUSY particles at the LHC. • Expectation on the structure on garactic scales of the CDM scenario is richer than observed.
z Bosonic super-WIMPs search (M. Pospelov et. al., Phys. Rev. D 78 115012 (2008), J. Redondo and M. Postma, J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. 02 (2009) 005 )
• A lukewarm dark matter candidate, and lighter and more weakly interacting particles than WIMPs. • Deposit energy in a target material would essentially equivalent to the super-WIMP rest mass. • Search for pseudoscalar and vector boson (called as dark, para, or hidden photon) with photoelectric-like interaction. • For vector boson, no experimental constraint so far.

((1) pre-selection, (2) reconstructed radius (R<15cm) cut, (3) timing cut, (4) pattern cut) z The remaining event rate of O(10-4) /day/keVee/kg is the lowest ever achieved and consistent with expected BG from 214Pb.

4. Refurbishment of XMASS-1
Identification of BG source z Dominant BG in the commissioning run is originated from “detector surface”. z RI in PMT Al seal and on surface of PMT and PMT holder. z Such events are likely to be reconstructed inside the fiducial volume, because photons are hardly detected in neighboring PMTs.
z Refurbishment from May 2012 to Nov. 2013 z PMT Al seal were covered by copper ring and plate to reduce the beta and X-ray and make a simple and flat surface. z Electro-polish is applied to those ring, plate and PMT holders.

・292.7days (live time) data were used. ・Surface events sometimes miss-reconstructed as events happened inside the FV. ・Conservative limit assuming all remaining events are caused by WIMP without BG subtraction are derived. sSI < 2.7x10-43 cm2 (50GeV WIMPs). Possible all the systematic errors are taken into account. ・Remaining BG sources are identified. Results with BG subtraction is now being prepared.

zMass-production is OK. zOptimization of shape and cost-cutting are being concerned. z Less radio-active impurities. z MC study of miss-reconstruction rate is being evaluated: Reduction rate of < 10-5 at 2.5keV was obtained for events occurred in the side of window.

・3 PMTs around event vertex detect 40–50% of pe. ・Cut criteria: Fraction of pe in 3 PMTs > 10%

Summary z XMASS-I is the world’s largest (835kg) and low threshold
(0.3keVee) detector for dark matter search. z Physics results from commissioning data with the full advantage
of sensitivity to e/g events as well as nuclear recoil with low BG at a few 10’s keV at a level of 10-4 /day/kg/keVee.
z Current status.
• The refurbishment of detector completed and data taking resumed in Nov. 2013. • One order reduction of BG from commissioning run data.
z Future • Designing of XMASS-1.5 is on-going. • Aim to sSI < 10-46 cm2 (>5keV) for fiducialization.
• Low mass WIMP search (PLB 719(2013)78) • Solar Axion search (PLB 724 (2013) 46) • Bosonic super-WIMPs (PRL 113, 121301 (2014)): For vector boson, the first direct search in the 40–120 keV range. • Inelastic scattering WIMP search (PTEP 063C01 (2014))

z In the case of 129Xe: The expected event rate from inelastic scattering is one order magnitude smaller than one from elastic scattering. If BG level around 40 keV is more than one order of magnitude smaller than one around a few keV region, inelastic search has better sensitivity than elastic search.
