arXiv:astro-ph/0512220 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/39/1/036

Abstract

The project of a micro-TPC matrix of chambers of \hetrois for direct detection of non-baryonic dark matter is presented. The privileged properties of He3 are highlighted. The double detection (ionization - projection of tracks) is explained and its rejection evaluated. The potentialities of MIMAC-He3 for supersymmetric dark matter search are discussed.
