Abstract: (IOP)
In this paper, the recent results from KIMS (Korea invisible mass search) experiment are presented. KIMS has searched for WIMPs (Weakly Interactig Massive Particles) scattering off the nucleus by using the CsI(Tl) scintillator. The detector is an array of 12 CsI(Tl) scintilltors, whose total mass is 103.4 kg. The results reported here used the exposure of 24524.3 kg-days. With pulse shape discrimination (PSD) analysis, we estimated the nuclear recoil (NR) event rate and no meaningful excess of NR events rate were found. From this, we derived the improved cross section limit for WIMP-nucleon interaction.
