Experimental dataset from CDEX’s high-purity germanium detectors in China Jinping Underground Laboratory
摘要
Founded in 2009, the China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) collaboration was dedicated to the detection of dark matter (DM) and neutrinoless double beta decay using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors in the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. HPGe detectors are characterized by a high energy resolution, low analysis threshold, and low radioactive background, making them an ideal platform for the direct detection of DM. Over the years, CDEX has accumulated a massive amount of experimental data, based on which various results on DM detection and neutrinoless double beta decay have been presented. Because the dataset was collected in a low-background environment, apart from the analysis of DM-related physical channels, it has great potential as an indicator in other rare physical events searches. Furthermore, by providing raw pulse shapes, the dataset can serve as a tool for effectively understanding the internal mechanisms of HPGe detectors.
