abstract
We report on the development and performance of a high-sensitivity purity-analysis technique for gaseous xenon. The gas is sampled at macroscopic pressure from the system of interest using a UHV leak valve. The xenon present in the sample is removed with a liquid-nitrogen cold trap, and the remaining impurities are observed with a standard vacuum mass-spectroscopy device. Using calibrated samples of xenon gas spiked with known levels of impurities, we find that the minimum detectable levels of N2, O2, and methane are 1 ppb, 160 ppt, and 60 ppt respectively. This represents an improvement of about a factor of 10,000 compared to measurements performed without a coldtrap.

Measurement of solar $pp$ neutrino flux with the new PandaX-4T data
PandaX-4T Run 2 data yields solar pp neutrino flux of (8.5 ± 3.5)×10^{10} cm^{-2}s^{-1} at 2.2σ, first positive indication below 165 keV electronic recoil.
