PandaX:a liquid xenon dark matter experiment at CJPL

TLDR
PandaX is a large liquid-xenon detector experiment usable for direct dark-matter detection and 136Xe double-beta decay search as mentioned in this paper, which was designed to accommodate a staged target volume increase from initially 120 kg (stage I) to 0.5 t (stage II).
Abstract
PandaX is a large liquid-xenon detector experiment usable for direct dark-matter detection and 136Xe double-beta decay search. The central vessel was designed to accommodate a staged target volume increase from initially 120 kg (stage I) to 0.5 t (stage II) and eventually to a multi-ton scale. The experiment is located in the Jinping Deep-Underground Laboratory in Sichuan, China. The detector operates in dual-phase mode, allowing detection of both prompt scintillation, and ionization charge through proportional scintillation. In this paper a detailed description of the stage I detector design and performance as well as results established during the commissioning phase are presented.

Dark matter hurricane: Measuring the S1 stream with dark matter detectors

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the S1 stream on WIMP and axion detectors as a function of the density of its unmeasured dark component were investigated. And the results showed that axion haloscopes possess the greatest potential sensitivity to the S 1 stream if its dark matter component is sufficiently cold.

Particle dark matter: Evidence, candidates and constraints

TL;DR: The current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations, including direct and indirect detection techniques, is discussed in this paper. But the authors focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in universal extra dimensions.

First results from the LUX dark matter experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility

D. S. Akerib, +101 more
TL;DR: The first WIMP search data set is reported, taken during the period from April to August 2013, presenting the analysis of 85.3 live days of data, finding that the LUX data are in disagreement with low-mass W IMP signal interpretations of the results from several recent direct detection experiments.

Supersymmetric Dark Matter

TL;DR: In this article, the neutralino is proposed as the lightest superpartner in many supersymmetric theories, and it is shown how to calculate the cosmological abundance of neutralino and event rates for both direct and indirect detection schemes.
