Systematics in the XENON1T data: the 15-keV anti-axion

Dessert, Christopher, Foster, Joshua W., Kahn, Yonatan et al.

Understand

The XENON1T collaboration has found an excess of electron recoil events in their Science Run 1 data below ~7 keV with a spectral shape consistent with that expected from a solar-axion-induced signal.

The claimed statistical significance of the solar-axion model over the null hypothesis is 3.5$\sigma$.
In this work we provide evidence for mismodeling in the electron recoil data that may decrease the local significance of the axion model to as low as $p \approx 0.1$.
To reach this conclusion, we search for a signal with the spectral template of the solar axion model, but shifted to higher (unphysical) energies above ~7 keV.
