We report constraints on the dark photon effective kinetic mixing parameter (κ) with data taken from two p-type point-contact germanium detectors of the CDEX-10 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. The 90% confidence level upper limits on κ of solar dark photon from 205.4 kg-day exposure are derived, probing new parameter space with masses (m V) from 10 to 300 eV=c 2 in direct detection experiments. Considering dark photon as the cosmological dark matter, limits at 90% confidence level with m V from 0.1 to 4.0 keV=c 2 are set from 449.6 kg-day data, with a minimum of κ ¼ 1.3 × 10 −15 at m V ¼ 200 eV=c 2 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
