Description

The XMASS program at Kamioka Observatory of Japan uses a self-shielding liquid xenon scintillator for the direct detection of dark matter and many other rare processes. The current running XMASS-I features 832kg ultra clean liquid xenon. Combined with low energy threshold of 0.3keV, XMASS-I is sensitive to low mass WIMPs and annual modulation search of dark matter.
