First limits on WIMP dark matter from the XENON10 experiment
XENON10 is a dual phase liquid/gas xenon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for the direct search of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) Dark Matter (DM). The detector, located in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, aims at measuring the recoil energy from elastic WIMP-nucleus scattering. It distinguishes electronic interactions (gamma and beta backgrounds) from nuclear recoils based...
متن کاملFirst results from the XENON10 dark matter experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory.
The XENON10 experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory uses a 15 kg xenon dual phase time projection chamber to search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The detector measures simultaneously the scintillation and the ionization produced by radiation in pure liquid xenon to discriminate signal from background down to 4.5 keV nuclear-recoil energy. A blind analysi...
متن کاملThe XENON Dark Matter Search: Status of XENON10
The XENON experiment searches for dark matter particles called WIMPs using liquid xenon (LXe) as the active target. The detector is a 3D position sensitive Time Projection Chamber optimized to simultaneously measure the ionization and scintillation produced by a recoil event of energy as low as 16 keV. The distinct ratio of the two signals for nuclear recoils arising from WIMPs and neutrons and...
متن کاملSearch for light dark matter in XENON10 data.
We report results of a search for light (≲10 GeV) particle dark matter with the XENON10 detector. The event trigger was sensitive to a single electron, with the analysis threshold of 5 electrons corresponding to 1.4 keV nuclear recoil energy. Considering spin-independent dark matter-nucleon scattering, we exclude cross sections σ(n)>7×10(-42) cm(2), for a dark matter particle mass m(χ)=7 GeV...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
