Background Suppression

A Avoid Backgrounds

Use of radiopure materials Shielding deep underground location large shield (Pb, water, poly) active veto (µ,  coincidence) self shielding → fiducialization

B Use knowledge about expected WIMP signal

WIMPs interact only once → single scatter selection require some position resolution WIMPs interact with target nuclei → nuclear recoils exploit different dE/dx from signal and background

Light and heavy WIMPs

XENON100 threshold

For higher Erec, sensitivity to low mass WIMPs is higher for light targets → need low threshold → lower sensitivity can be (to some extent) compensated by target mass (CoGeNT: 0.33 kg, XENON100: 48.0 kg → factor ~150)

there is a modulation there is a significant component >1.5 keV modulation not well explained by standard Maxwellian DM halo XENON100 should have seen 10-30 events CDMS-II should see O(1) modulation

<0.06 evt/keVnr kg day in 5-11.9 keVnr at 99% CL

Inconsistent with CoGeNT in 1.2-3.2 keVee range at 98% CL

XENON10 „S2 only“ Analysis

  • 12.5d data from 2006
  • trigger threshold at single electron level;

data not used before

  • require S2>5 e– (~1.4 keV)
  • radial cut r<3 cm, basically no z-cut → 1.2 kg
  • choosing Qy 40% higher (lower) would yield

a 2x stronger (weaker) limit @ 7 GeV/c² PRL 107, 051301 (2011)

„Predictions“ are due to a mistake. Xenon is not Germanium! One has to consider the electron-ion recombination and the exciton to ion ratio, which vary with E.

Conclusion: only if Qy is incompatible with data and theoretical understanding

  • ne can avoid the XENON10 contraints.
