5 Why Single Phase Xe? Simple and Clean for Large Scalability Simplicity Single phase LXe scintillator Simple structure like Super-K Cleanliness Made of pure materials Development of low BG PMTs Xe purification technologies distillation system Xe has the advantage for Spin Independent interacting WIMPs Counts/day/kg/keV Expected WIMP spectrum SUSY2013 8/29/2013 H.

10 Xe Distillation System Commercial pure Xe contains ~0.1ppm Kr 85 K / K = τ =10.8 year, Q β = 687keV 5 order reduction was indispensable. Astoparticle Physics 31, (2009) 290 Xe Kr Boiling point (@0.2MPa) 178K 140K~150K 4m We established Xe purifiaction by distillation 1 ton LXe = 170 m 3 gas Xe Process speed: 4.7kg/hr 10 days Confirmed Kr < 2.7ppt by API-MS SUSY2013 8/29/2013 H. Sekiya 10

11 Detector Response Top PMT manipulator real data 57 Co simulation Calibration spectrum 59.3keV of W 122keV ~4% rms 136keV Reconstructed vertex real data simulation total photoelectrons Trigger efficiency energy kevee SUSY2013 8/29/2013 Highest LXe scintillation yields: 14.7p.e./keVee Lowest threshold: 4hits 0.3keVee H. Sekiya 11

12 Unexpected BG BG is 2 order higher than that had been expected. counts/day/p.e. Data BG simulation 238U & 210Pb of PMT Al seal expected BG (PMT & components) ~1MeV(60Co peak) total photoelectrons GORE-TEX? ~5keV SUSY2013 8/29/2013 Major origin of BG was considered to be γ from PMTs, but the observed data seemed to have additional surface contamination. Aluminum sealing parts for the PMT (btw metal body and quartz glass) contains 238U and 210Pb (>5keV) GORE-TEX between PMT and holder is suspicious below 5keV. H. Sekiya 12

13 XMASS Full Volume: Low BG w/o PID Although extra BG sources were found, XMASS BG level is still competitive w/o rejecting electronic events. XMASS has a competitive sensitivity to Light WIMPs & Axions Evens/kg/day/keV XMASS full volume kg days Fiducial volume analyses are on-going and will be released. E.
