Title: First Results from the LUX Dark Matter Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility

Abstract

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is a dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota). The LUX cryostat was filled for the first time in the underground laboratory in February 2013. We report here results of the first WIMP search data set, taken during the period from April to August 2013, presenting the analysis of 85.3 live days of data with a fiducial volume of 118 kg. A profile-likelihood analysis technique shows our data to be consistent with the background-only hypothesis, allowing 90% confidence limits to be set on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering with a minimum upper limit on the cross section of 7.6 × 1 0 - 46 cm 2 at a WIMP mass of 33 GeV / c 2 . We find that the LUX data are in disagreement with low-mass WIMP signal interpretations of the results from several recent direct detection experiments.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Top: Comparison of AmBe data (blue circles) with NEST simulations (blue line), showing excellent agreement above the 2 phe threshold (left axis). The gray histogram and fitted dashed red line show the relative efficiency for detection of nuclear recoils from AmBe data (right axis). Overlaid are the ERmore » detection efficiency from tritium data (green squares), applied to the ER background model in the profile likelihood analysis, and the efficiency from full detector NR simulations treated as real data in terms of the digitized MC-truth S1 phe (purple triangles), applied to the WIMP signal model. The efficiency calculation here does not include S1 or S2 area thresholds. Bottom: NR detection efficiency as a function of nuclear recoil energy for events with a corrected S1 between 2 and 30 phe and a S2 signal greater than 200 phe (black $\bigtriangleup$), the efficiency used directly in the profile likelihood analysis. The efficiency for individually detecting an S2 (red $\square$) or S1 (blue $\bigcirc$) signal (without the application of any analysis thresholds) are also shown, along with that after the single scatter requirement (green $\bigtriangledown$). The cyan dashed line indicates the threshold in keVnr below which we assume no light or charge response in the PLR calculation.« less
