A First Search for Solar ⁸B Neutrino in the PandaX-4T Experiment using Neutrino-Nucleus Coherent Scattering
read the original abstract
A search for interactions from solar $^8$B neutrinos elastically scattering off xenon nuclei using PandaX-4T commissioning data is reported. The energy threshold of this search is further lowered compared with the previous search for dark matter, with various techniques utilized to suppress the background that emerges from data with the lowered threshold. A blind analysis is performed on the data with an effective exposure of 0.48 tonne$\cdot$year, and no significant excess of events is observed. Among results obtained using the neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, our results give the best constraint on the solar $^8$B neutrino flux. We further provide a more stringent limit on the cross section between dark matter and nucleon in the mass range from 3 to 9 GeV/c$^2$.

Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
An updated Thomas-Imel ionization model for liquid argon, constrained by ReD calibration data, produces new world-leading exclusion limits on 1-3 GeV/c² WIMPs.

GeV-scale thermal dark matter from dark photons: tightly constrained, yet allowed
In a dark-photon-mediated Dirac fermionic DM model, only narrow resonant regions with small dark-sector coupling allow the candidate to saturate the full relic density while evading current direct and indirect detecti...
