SUSY 2012 9 2012- 8-13 Data Taking Analysis is conducted with 30 month data from Sep. 2009 to Feb. 2012 DAQ time does not correspond to a full of month for each month because of a unavoidable problems, such as an outage of electricity or an abnormal termination of computers Total exposure is 75.53 ton∙days with 103.4 kg of CsI(Tl) crystals Sep. 2009 ~ Feb. 2012

SUSY 2012 1010 2012- 8-13 Noise & Background We are receiving 0.5 million events everyday The expected rate of WIMP signal is under 1 counts/kg/day considering DAMA Most of signals come from noise or background Noise : electronics cables or circuits electronics noise PMT’s thermionic electrons from photocathode PMT’s afterpulses Background : scintillation signals from particles Internal background ( 137 Cs, 134 Cs, 87 Rb, ……) External background ( 238 U, 232 Th, 40 K, ……) Cosmic background ( muon, ……) MC Simulation of Background

SUSY 2012 1414 2012- 8-13 Averaged Result of 11 CsI(Tl) crystals A decay is typical beta spectrum of 134 Cs The background rate of 2 keV bin is relatively higher than other energy bin The amplitude of annual modulation corresponds to zero with 90% C.L. The averaged amplitude of annual modulation from 3 keV to 6 keV is 0.0008±0.0068 cpd/kg/keV A decay Bkg Amplitude

SUSY 2012 1515 2012- 8-13 KIMS & DAMA DAMA reported the annual modulation amplitude of 0.0183±0.0022 cpd/kg/keV(8.3 ; 2~4 keV) 2~4 keV of DAMA corresponds to 3.24~5.41 keV of KIMS by 9% quenching factor of I The amplitude of annual modulation is 0.0008±0.0068 cpd/kg/keV (1 ; 3~6 keV) in KIMS The 90% C.L. upper limit of amplitude of annual modulation is 0.0119 cpd/kg/keV (3~6 keV) in KIMS KIMS DAMA 3.24 keV5.41 keV
16
SUSY 2012 1616 2012- 8-13 Conclusion The analysis was done with 2.5 years data of 75.53 ton days using CsI(Tl) cryatals The background level of single hit events is under 3 cpd/kg/keV passing 7 event selection conditions The amplitude of annual modulation is consistent with zero by 90% C.L. The amplitude of annual modulation is 0.0008±0.0068 cpd/kg/keV (1 ) for 3-6 keV in KIMS experiment The 90%CL upper limit is 0.0119cpd/kg/keV(3-6 keV) in KIMS experiment, which is contradictory to the interpretation of WIMP-iodine scattering for DAMA modulation data
