First Search for Light Fermionic Dark Matter Absorption on Electrons Using Germanium Detector in CDEX-10 Experiment
Abstract: We present the first results of the search for sub-MeV fermionic dark matter absorbed by electron targets of Germanium using the 205.4~kg$\cdot$day data collected by the CDEX-10 experiment, with the analysis threshold of 160~eVee. No significant dark matter (DM) signals over the background are observed. Results are presented as limits on the cross section of DM--electron interaction. We present new constraints of cross section in the DM range of 0.1--10 keV/$c2$ for vector and axial-vector interaction. The upper limit on the cross section is set to be $\rm 5.5\times10{-46}~cm2$ for vector interaction, and $\rm 1.8\times10{-46}~cm2$ for axial-vector interaction at DM mass of 5 keV/$c2$.
