    Search for Light Weakly-Interacting-Massive-Particle Dark Matter by Annual Modulation Analysis with a Point-Contact Germanium Detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory

    We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass pp-type point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2 yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on WIMP-nucleus (χ{\chi}-NN) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP mass (mχm_{\chi}) at 90\% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90\% C.L. allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are excluded at >>99.99\% and 98\% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to the best sensitivity at mχm_{\chi}<<6 GeV/c2~{\rm GeV}/c^2 among WIMP AM measurements to date.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Limits on Light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from the First 102.8 kg ×{\times} day Data of the CDEX-10 Experiment

    Full text link
    We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee, improved limits of 8 ×1042\times 10^{-42} and 3 ×1036\times 10^{-36} cm2^{2} at a 90\% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass (mχm_{\chi}) of 5 GeV/c2{c}^2 are achieved. The lower reach of mχm_{\chi} is extended to 2 GeV/c2{c}^2.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Constraints on Spin-Independent Nucleus Scattering with sub-GeV Weakly Interacting Massive Particle Dark Matter from the CDEX-1B Experiment at the China Jin-Ping Laboratory

    We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses (mχm_{\chi}) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg\cdotday exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg\cdotday exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in mχm_{\chi} are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on σχNSI\sigma_{\chi N}^{\rm SI} at 90\% confidence level are derived as 2×2\times10327×^{-32}\sim7\times1035^{-35} cm2\rm cm^2 for TI analysis at mχm_{\chi}\sim 50-180 MeV/c2c^2, and 3×3\times10329×^{-32}\sim9\times1038^{-38} cm2\rm cm^2 for AM analysis at mχm_{\chi}\sim75 MeV/c2c^2-3.0 GeV/c2c^2.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Using data samples collected at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV by the BESII detector at the BEPC, the branching fraction of psi(2S) -> 3(pi+pi-) is measured to be [4.83 +- 0.38(stat) +- 0.69(syst)] x 10^-4, and the relative branching fraction of J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-) to that of J/psi -> mu+mu- is measured to be [5.86 +- 0.19(stat) +- 0.39(syst)]% via psi(2S) -> (pi+pi-)J/psi, J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-). The electromagnetic form factor of 3(pi+pi-) is determined to be 0.21 +- 0.02 and 0.20 +- 0.01 at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV, respectively.Comment: 17pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

    Search for psi(3770)\ra\rho\pi at the BESII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider

    Full text link
    Non-DDˉD\bar{D} decay \psppto \rhopi is searched for using a data sample of (17.3±0.5)pb1(17.3\pm 0.5) pb^{-1} taken at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV by the BESII detector at the BEPC. No \rhopi signal is observed, and the upper limit of the cross section is measured to be \sigma(\EETO \rhopi)<6.0 pb at 90% C. L. Considering the interference between the continuum amplitude and the \pspp resonance amplitude, the branching fraction of \pspp decays to ρπ\rho\pi is determined to be \BR(\pspp\ra\rho\pi)\in(6.0\times10^{-6}, 2.4\times10^{-3}) at 90% C. L. This is in agreement with the prediction of the SS- and DD-wave mixing scheme of the charmonium states for solving the ``\rhopi puzzle'' between \jpsi and \psp decays.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
