Description
PandaX (Particle and Astrophysical Xenon experiment), a large-scale liquid xenon dark matter detection project located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, has provided a high-sensitivity experimental platform for dark matter and neutrino searches through the iterative development of three generations of detectors since its launch in 2009. To further enhance the sensitivity to these rare signals, PandaX collaboration has proposed a next generation detector PandaX-20T, which is planned to get online in 2027. Over 20 tonnes of xenon will be utilized, resulting in a diameter of ~2m and a height of ~2.5m for the time projection chamber. New R12699 photomultiplier tubes with much lower radioactivity will be employed for photon detection. This talk will give an overview of the status of PandaX-20T R&D and its expected performance.
