Abstract
COSINE-100 is a direct dark matter search experiment, with the primary goal
of testing the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA, using the same
target material, NaI(Tl). In previous analyses, we achieved the same 1 keV
energy threshold used in the DAMA/LIBRA's analysis that reported an annual
modulation signal with 11.6$\sigma$ significance. In this article, we report an
improved analysis that lowered the threshold to 0.7 keV, thanks to the
application of Multi-Layer Perception network and a new likelihood parameter
with waveforms in the frequency domain. The lower threshold would enable a
better comparison of COSINE-100 with new DAMA results with a 0.75 keV threshold
and account for differences in quenching factors. Furthermore the lower
threshold can enhance COSINE-100's sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter searches.
