论文摘要

CDMSLITE RUN 2是在高压模式下以低温检测器进行低温探测器的弱相互作用的巨大颗粒（WIMP）的搜索，以优化对2-20 GEV/$ C^2 $的相对较低质量的灵敏度。在本文中，我们提出了使用扩展的能量范围和对预期背景的全面处理，对CDMSLITE运行2个数据进行了有效的现场理论（EFT）分析。考虑到EFT相互作用的参数并相对于主要的背景组件，在后坐力数据上进行了binned的贝叶斯分析。从分析中除去了已知激活峰的5 $σ$之内的能量区域。由不同的操作员假设产生的贝叶斯证据表明，CDMSLITE运行2个数据与仅背景模型一致，并且假设有任何其他EFT相互作用，则不允许信号解释。因此，为每个EFT操作员介绍了WIMP质量和耦合幅度振幅和相位的上限。这些限制改善了以前的CDMSLITE运行2个范围，以高于5 GEV/$ C^2 $。

CDMSlite Run 2 was a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with a cryogenic 600 g Ge detector operated in a high-voltage mode to optimize sensitivity to WIMPs of relatively low mass from 2 - 20 GeV/$c^2$. In this article, we present an effective field theory (EFT) analysis of the CDMSlite Run 2 data using an extended energy range and a comprehensive treatment of the expected background. A binned likelihood Bayesian analysis was performed on the recoil energy data, taking into account the parameters of the EFT interactions and optimizing the data selection with respect to the dominant background components. Energy regions within 5$σ$ of known activation peaks were removed from the analysis. The Bayesian evidences resulting from the different operator hypotheses show that the CDMSlite Run 2 data are consistent with the background-only models and do not allow for a signal interpretation assuming any additional EFT interaction. Consequently, upper limits on the WIMP mass and coupling-coefficient amplitudes and phases are presented for each EFT operator. These limits improve previous CDMSlite Run 2 bounds for WIMP masses above 5 GeV/$c^2$.
