Projected WIMP sensitivity of the CDEX-50 dark matter experiment
arxiv(2023)
Abstract
CDEX-50 is a next-generation project of the China Dark Matter Experiment
(CDEX) that aims to search for dark matter using a 50-kg germanium detector
array. This paper comprises a thorough summary of the CDEX-50 dark matter
experiment, including an investigation of potential background sources and the
development of a background model. Based on the baseline model, the projected
sensitivity of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) is also presented.
The expected background level within the energy region of interest, set to
2–2.5 keVee, is ∼0.01 counts keVee^-1 kg^-1 day^-1. At 90%
confidence level, the expected sensitivity to spin-independent WIMP-nucleon
couplings is estimated to reach a cross-section of 5.1 × 10^-45
cm^2 for a WIMP mass of 5 GeV/c^2 with an exposure objective of 150
kg·year and an analysis threshold of 160 eVee. This science goal will
correspond to the most sensitive results for WIMPs with a mass of 2.2–8
GeV/c^2.
