Why Multiple Targets? Systematic Study of Dark Matter Interaction

Target Mass dependence of Cross section• Xenon vs. Argon

Spin dependence of cross section • 129/131Xe (Spin odd) vs. 136Xe (Spin even)

Precise determination of Mass and Cross section

Expected Performance of QUPID

Large diameter: 3 inch Existing largest PMT with low radioactivity is 2 inch (R8778)

Extremely low radioactivity: 1mBq (now) 0.1mBq (future) To be compared with

• R8778 (2 inch) 50 mBq• R8520 (1 inch) 10 mBq

True photon counting 1,2… 5 photo-electron peaks are clearly visible. Collection efficiency is ~100% Excess Noise Factor (ENF) = 1.0

Fast Timing: < 500 psec 500 psec Transit Time spread expected

Simple HV supply HV supply can be common for all HAPD

• No Tube to tube variation of gains Resister chain not necessary

Summary of DBD Detection All the gamma ray background can be

effectively removed. Low-radioactive QUPID is essential.

• < 1 mBq for > 1027 years• < 0.1 mBq for > 1028 years

Extensive active shielding. • 30 cm cut required (4 ton fiducial volume out of 14 ton.)

Multiple hit cut. Ba2+ tagging is not necessary, unlike EXO.

The tail from two neutrino double beta decays is negligible. based on XENON10, the energy resolution of the

double-phase Xenon should be superior to EXO. = 1.0% at 2.5 MeV (FWHM = 50 keV)• > 3 pe/keV is required
