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}.

We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses (m χ) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg day exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg day exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in m χ are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on σ SI χN at 90% confidence level are derived as 2 × 10 −32 ∼ 7 × 10 −35 cm 2 for TI analysis at m χ ∼ 50-180 MeV=c 2 , and 3 × 10 −32 ∼ 9 × 10 −38 cm 2 for AM analysis at m χ ∼ 75 MeV=c 2-3.0 GeV=c 2 .

Abstract-Dual-mode index modulation aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DM-OFDM) is recently proposed, where subcarriers are partitioned into OFDM subblocks, divided into two groups within each subblock, and modulated by two differentiable constellation alphabets. In DM-OFDM, additional bits can be transmitted through indices of subcarriers modulated by the same constellation alphabet. In this letter, generalized DM-OFDM (GDM-OFDM) is proposed, where the number of subcarriers modulated by the same constellation mode in each subblock is alterable. By applying such enhancement, the spectral efficiency can be improved at the cost of marginal performance loss. Moreover, since the BER performance of GDM-OFDM degrades at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), an interleaving technique is employed to address this issue. At the receiver, a maximum-likelihood (ML) detector and a reduced-complexity log-likelihood ratio (LLR) detector are employed for demodulation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed GDM-OFDM is capable of enhancing the spectral efficiency compared with DM-OFDM at the cost of negligible performance loss, and the interleaved GDM-OFDM (IGDM-OFDM) can harvest on performance gain over GDM-OFDM.Index Terms-Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), index modulation, maximum likelihood detection, loglikelihood ratio based detection, interleaving technique.
