Summary
• XMASS experiment:
Large volume liquid Xe detector for multi-purpose
e.g. DM, pp/Be solar neutrino and bb measurement.
Key idea : Self shielding of liquid Xe
• 100kg prototype detector:
The detector performance is as expected.
Most of the performances required for 800kg detector are
confirmed.
• 800kg next detector:
Mainly for dark matter search.
2 orders improvement of sensitivity above existing
experiments is expected.
