We report the first search for the elastic scatterings between cosmic-ray boosted sub-MeV dark matter (DM) and electrons in the PandaX-4T liquid xenon experiment. Sub-MeV DM particles can be accelerated by scattering with electrons in the cosmic rays and produce detectable electron recoil signals in the detector. Using the commissioning data from PandaX-4T of 0.63 tonne·year exposure, we set new constraints on DM-electron scattering cross sections for DM masses ranging from 10 eV/c^{2} to 3 keV/c^{2}.
我们报告了在熊猫X-4T液氙实验中首次对宇宙射线增强的亚兆电子伏特暗物质（DM）与电子之间的弹性散射进行的搜索。亚兆电子伏特暗物质粒子可以通过与宇宙射线中的电子散射而加速，并在探测器中产生可探测的电子反冲信号。利用熊猫X-4T曝光量为0.63吨·年的调试数据，我们对质量范围从10电子伏特/c²到3千电子伏特/c²的暗物质-电子散射截面设定了新的限制。
