We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee, improved limits of 8×10^{-42} and 3×10^{-36} cm^{2} at a 90% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass (m_{χ}) of 5 GeV/c^{2} are achieved. The lower reach of m_{χ} is extended to 2 GeV/c^{2}.
我们报告了 CDEX-10 实验中首次使用浸没在液氮中的 10 公斤锗探测器阵列进行的轻质量弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMP）搜索的结果，该实验在中国锦屏地下实验室进行，物理数据量为 102.8 公斤·天。在分析阈值为 160 eVee 的情况下，在 WIMP 质量（mχ）为 5 GeV/c²时，分别在自旋无关和自旋相关 WIMP-核子截面处达到了 90%置信水平下的 8×10^{-42}和 3×10^{-36} cm^{2}的改进限制。mχ 的下限扩展到 2 GeV/c²。
