Expected energy spectrum assuming
• 1 year exposure• flat background (10-4 dru)• s c = 10-44 cm2
• MWIMP = 50 GeV
• Leff = 0.2

Conclusion
• The XMASS 800kg detector is a single phase LXe scintillation detector
• Construction of the 800kg detector finished last winter• Commissioning runs are on going to confirm the
detector performance and low background properties– Energy resolution and vertex resolution were as expected.
~1cm position resolution and ~4% energy resolution for 122 keV g.
– Radon and Kr background are close to the target values.
• The physics results are on the way

3 Steps in reconstruction• Step1
– Search the map grid where likelihood becomes smallest.
• Step2– By linear interpolation, calculate likelihood at finer “interpolated grid” in
Cartesian coordinate.– 1.5cm interval, 5x5x5 finer grid points are evaluated.
