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$\times$19.1 kg-day was taken, while its dominant ${}^{85}$Kr 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$\times$10${}^{-45}$~cm${}^2$ at a WIMP mass of 44.7~GeV/c${}^2$.
