Effective field theory search for high-energy nuclear recoils using the XENON100 dark matter detector
We report on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search results in the XENON100 detector using a nonrelativistic effective field theory approach. The data from science run II ($34\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kg}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}224.6$ live days) were reanalyzed, with an increased recoil energy interval compared to previous analyses, ranging from $(6.6--240)\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{keV}}_{\mathrm{nr}}$.
