Abstract

XMASS-I uses single phase liquid xenon technology for aiming at the direct detection of dark matter. The detector observes only scintillation light by 2 inch 642 PMTs which are placed in sphere shape around an active volume. With its large mass target and high photoelectron yield, we conducted a search for dark matter by annual modulation with 832 kg ×\times 359.2 days exposure of data. We find no modulation signal in the data so that we set an upper limit 4.3×1041cm2\times10^{-41} \rm{cm}^{2} at WIMP mass of 8 GeV/c2c^{2} which excluded an interpreted DAMA/LIBRA allowed region.
