Dark Matter Search Results from the Commissioning Run of PandaX-II

Abstract

We present the results of a search for WIMPs from the commissioning run of the PandaX-II experiment located at the China Jinping underground Laboratory. A WIMP search data set with an exposure of 306×19.1 kg-day was taken, while its dominant 85Kr background was used as the electron recoil calibration. No WIMP candidates are identified, and a 90\% upper limit is set on the spin-independent elastic WIMP-nucleon cross section with a lowest excluded cross section of 2.97×10-45~cm2 at a WIMP mass of 44.7~GeV/c2.
