Abstract
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) may interact with a virtual pion that is exchanged between nucleons. This interaction channel is important to consider in models where the spin-independent isoscalar channel is suppressed. Using data from the first science run of the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment, containing 60 live days of data in a 5.5 tonne fiducial mass of liquid xenon, we report the results on a search for WIMP-pion interactions. We observe no significant excess and set an upper limit of 1.5 × 10−46 cm2 at a 90% confidence level for a WIMP mass of 33 GeV/c2 for this interaction.
Cosmological evidence suggests that nonluminous dark matter comprises 27% of the energy density of the universe, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) being a favoured candidate. Here, the authors perform a search for WIMP-like dark matter interacting with a virtual particle that is exchanges between xenon nucleons.
