Search for dark matter annual modulation with DarkSide-50
Dark matter may induce an event in an Earth-based detector, and its event rate is predicted to show an annual modulation as a result of the Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun. We searched for this modulation signature using the ionization signal of the DarkSide-50 liquid argon time projection chamber. No significant signature compatible with dark matter is observed in the electron recoil equivalent energy range above <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mrow><a:mn>40</a:mn><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:msub><a:mi>eV</a:mi><a:mrow><a:mi>ee</a:mi></a:mrow></a:msub></a:mrow></a:math>, the lowest threshold ever achieved in such a search.
