Brief History of KIMS
• 1997 Summer : First discussion on WIMP search in Korea
• 1997 Fall : Started R&D on CsI(Tl) for WIMP search
• 1998 Summer : Demonstrated that CsI(Tl) can be used
as a WIMP detector - presented at ICHEP98
• 1999 Spring : Started background measurement at Cheongphyung
• 2000 Summer : Project funded, KIMS collaboration formed
• 2001 August : TDR, Project Review Committee

Internal background
Radioisotopes in the crystal
- most important background after the proper shielding
137Cs
: t 1/2= 30.07 year
 decay to 137Ba* (Q = 1175.6 keV)
 2 min life time, emitting 661.6 keV gamma
Hard to reject => serious background at low energy
134Cs
: t 1/2 = 2.065 year
 decsy to 134Ba* (Q=2058.7 keV)  immediate gamma emission
Can be rejected easily => not a serious problem
87Rb
: t 1/2 half life = 4.75 x 1010 year (27.8% natural abundance)
 Beta deacy to 87Sr (Q=282.3 keV)  no gamma emission
Hard to reject => potentially a serious problem
=> reduction technique in material is known
