Abstract

Axion-like particles (ALPs) and dark photons (DPs) are viable dark matter particle candidates. We have searched for possible ALP/DP signals in the PandaX-4T liquid xenon detector using 94.8 days of data. A binned likelihood fit is constructed to search for possible mono-energetic peaks induced by the absorption processes between ALPs/DPs and atomic electrons of xenon. A detailed temporal model of decays associated with xenon isotopes is introduced to constrain the number of background events. No signal excess over background expectations is observed, and we have established the most stringent exclusion limits for most ALP/DP masses ranging from 150 keV/$c^2$ to 1 MeV/$c^2$.

利用PandaX-4T搜索MeV尺度的类轴子粒子和暗光子

类轴子粒子（ALPs）和暗光子（DPs）是可行的暗物质粒子候选者。我们利用94.8天的数据在PandaX-4T液态氙探测器中搜索了可能的ALP/DP信号。我们构建了一个二分似然拟合模型，以寻找ALPs/DPs与氙原子电子之间的吸收过程可能诱发的单能峰。为了限制背景事件的数量，引入了与氙同位素相关的详细衰变时间模型。没有观测到超出背景预期的信号，而且我们为大多数 ALP/DP 质量（从 150 keV/$c^2$ 到 1 MeV/$c^2$）建立了最严格的排除极限。
