Description
The PandaX (Particle AND Astrophysical Xenon) project is a staged xenon-based underground experiment at the China Jin-Ping Underground Laboratory. The first phase experiment, PandaX-I, a 120 kg dark matter detector using a dual phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) technology was completed in 2014 with a 54 x 80.1 kg-day exposure; no dark matter candidate was found. Recently, the commissioning run of the second phase of the experiment, PandaX-II, was completed, with a 306 × 19.1 kg-day exposure data released. The physics run of PandaX-II is expected to start in 2016.
In this talk, I will report the status of the PandaX experiment, and then present the results from recent dark matter searches.
