Explore the Inelastic Frontier with 79.6-day of PandaX-II Data [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.05825


We report here the results of searching for inelastic scattering of dark matter (initial and final state dark matter particles differ by a small mass splitting) with nucleon with the first 79.6-day of PandaX-II data (Run 9). We set the upper limits for the spin independent WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section up to a mass splitting of 300 keV/c$^2$ at two benchmark dark matter masses of 1 and 10 TeV/c$^2$. The result does not support the hypothesis that the high energy recoil events in CRESST were resulted from the inelastic scattering between WIMPs and tungsten nuclei.
