Possible DM search
 Due to the dead angle from
PMTs, it is hard to analyze
E<100keV, 10cm FV data.
 However, if we exclude such
“wall effect” by putting some
“light guide,” we can remove
low energy misreconstruction effect. 
~10-2/keV/kg/d, Eth~10keV,
and ~3kg FV will be available.
 This make possible to search
for DM (sensitivity depends
on its Eth, if Eth~10keV,
~0.6events/day can be
expected if 10-5pb (SI),
100GeV DM  background
~0.6events/day for 20keV

Summary
 XMASS: DM search with 100kg FV LXe
 R&D by 3kg FV prototype is well going
Demonstration of reconstruction, self shield, and
low BG properties
 Ext g rays: 10-2 /kg/day/keV  further self shield
Kr: 3.3±1.1ppt requirement almost achieved.
Radon (U) (33±7)10-14g/g (Th) < 23 10-14g/g
 O(1/30) reduction is enough for 1ton det.
 Further study for neutron is needed.
 Within a few years, we are planning to build the
100kg FV detector and start to search for DM!
