论文摘要
Pandax-II实验采用580kg液体氙气检测器来搜索暗物质颗粒与靶氙原子之间的相互作用。孤立信号的意外巧合导致危险的背景模仿暗物质的标志。我们对pandax-II的意外重合背景进行了详细研究,包括隔离信号的可能起源,背景级别和相应的背景抑制方法。通过增强decision-tree算法,在暗物质信号区域中,意外巧合的背景减少了70%,因此,在Pandax-II上搜索暗物质的敏感性得到了改善。
The PandaX-II experiment employed a 580kg liquid xenon detector to search for the interactions between dark matter particles and the target xenon atoms. The accidental coincidences of isolated signals result in a dangerous background which mimic the signature of the dark matter. We performed a detailed study on the accidental coincidence background in PandaX-II, including the possible origin of the isolated signals, the background level and corresponding background suppression method. With a boosted-decision-tree algorithm, the accidental coincidence background is reduced by 70% in the dark matter signal region, thus the sensitivity of dark matter search at PandaX-II is improved.
