Title: Dark matter search results from the PICO-2L C$$_3$$F$$_8$$ bubble chamber

Abstract

New data are reported from the operation of a 2 liter C₃F₈ bubble chamber in the SNOLAB underground laboratory, with a total exposure of 211.5 kg days at four different energy thresholds below 10 keV. These data show that C₃F₈ provides excellent electron-recoil and alpha rejection capabilities at very low thresholds. The chamber exhibits an electron-recoil sensitivity of < 3.5 × 10^–10 and an alpha rejection factor of > 98.2%. These data also include the first observation of a dependence of acoustic signal on alpha energy. Twelve single nuclear recoil event candidates were observed during the run. The candidate events exhibit timing characteristics that are not consistent with the hypothesis of a uniform time distribution, and no evidence for a dark matter signal is claimed. Lastly, these data provide the most sensitive direct detection constraints on WIMP-proton spin-dependent scattering to date, with significant sensitivity at low WIMP masses for spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering.

Dark Matter Search Results from the PICO-2L C3F8 Bubble Chamber

Journal Article Amole, C. ; Ardid, M. ; Asner, David M. ; ... - Physical Review Letters, 114(23):Article No. 231302

New data are reported from the operation of a 2-liter C3F8 bubble chamber in the 2100 meter deep SNOLAB underground laboratory, with a total exposure of 211.5 kg-days at four different recoil energy thresholds ranging from 3.2 keV to 8.1 keV. These data show that C3F8 provides excellent electron recoil and alpha rejection capabilities at very low thresholds, including the rst observation of a dependence of acoustic signal on alpha energy. Twelve single nuclear recoil event candidates were observed during the run. The candidate events exhibit timing characteristics that are not consistent with the hypothesis of a uniform time distribution,more »« less

Dark Matter Search Results from the $PICO - 60 C_{3} F_{8}$ Bubble Chamber

Journal Article Amole, C. ; Ardid, M. ; Arnquist, I. J. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

New results are reported from the operation of the PICO-60 dark matter detector, a bubble chamber filled with 52 kg of C₃F₈ located in the SNOLAB underground laboratory. As in previous PICO bubble chambers, PICO-60 C₃F₈ exhibits excellent electron recoil and alpha decay rejection, and the observed multiple-scattering neutron rate indicates a single-scatter neutron background of less than one event per month. A blind analysis of an efficiency-corrected 1167-kg day exposure at a 3.3-keV thermodynamic threshold reveals no single-scattering nuclear recoil candidates, consistent with the predicted background. In conclusion, these results set the most stringent direct-detection constraint to date on themore »« less

Dark Matter Search Results from the PICO-60 CF$$_3$$I Bubble Chamber

Journal Article Amole, C. ; Ardid, M. ; Asner, D. M. ; ... - Physical Review D

We reported new data from the operation of the PICO-60 dark matter detector, a bubble chamber filled with 36.8 kg of CF₃I and located in the SNOLAB underground laboratory. PICO-60 is the largest bubble chamber to search for dark matter to date. With an analyzed exposure of 92.8 live-days, PICO-60 exhibits the same excellent background rejection observed in smaller bubble chambers. Alpha decays in PICO-60 exhibit frequency-dependent acoustic calorimetry, similar but not identical to that reported recently in a C₃F₈ bubble chamber. PICO-60 also observes a large population of unknown background events, exhibiting acoustic, spatial, and timing behaviors inconsistent withmore »« less

First Dark Matter Search Results from a 4-kg CF$$_3$$I Bubble Chamber Operated in a Deep Underground Site

Journal Article Behnke, E ; /Indiana U., South Bend ; Behnke, J ; ...

New data are reported from the operation of a 4.0 kg CF{sub 3}I bubble chamber in the 6800 foot deep SNOLAB underground laboratory. The effectiveness of ultrasound analysis in discriminating alpha decay background events from single nuclear recoils has been confirmed, with a lower bound of >99.3% rejection of alpha decay events. Twenty single nuclear recoil event candidates and three multiple bubble events were observed during a total exposure of 553 kg-days distributed over three different bubble nucleation thresholds. The effective exposure for single bubble recoil-like events was 437.4 kg-days. A neutron background internal to the apparatus, of known origin,more »« less

Data-driven modeling of electron recoil nucleation in PICO $C_{3} F_{8}$ bubble chambers

Journal Article Amole, C. ; Ardid, M. ; Arnquist, I. J. ; ... - Physical Review D

The primary advantage of moderately superheated bubble chamber detectors is their simultaneous sensitivity to nuclear recoils from weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter and insensitivity to electron recoil backgrounds. A comprehensive analysis of PICO gamma calibration data demonstrates for the first time that electron recoils in C₃F₈ scale in accordance with a new nucleation mechanism, rather than one driven by a hot spike as previously supposed. Using this semiempirical model, bubble chamber nucleation thresholds may be tuned to be sensitive to lower energy nuclear recoils while maintaining excellent electron recoil rejection. The PICO-40L detector will exploit this model tomore »« less
