Development of a low--emitting -PIC as a readout device for direction-sensitive dark matter detectors
Takashi Hashimoto, Kentaro Miuchi, Tomonori Ikeda +10
Direction sensitivity could provide robust evidence for the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles constituting dark matter. However, the sensitivity of this meth…
Development of a time projection chamber with a sheet-resistor field cage
Kentaro Miuchi, Tomonori Ikeda, Hirohisa Ishiura +12
A new-concept time projection chamber (TPC) using a commercial resistive sheet, sheet-resistor micro-TPC SR-microPIC, was developed and its performance was measured. SR-microTPC ha…
Development of an alpha-particle imaging detector based on a low radioactivity micro-time-projection chamber
H. Ito, T. Hashimoto, K. Miuchi +5
An important issue for rare-event-search experiments, such as the search for dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay, is to reduce radioactivity of the detector materials and…
Development of a low-alpha-emitting μ-PIC for NEWAGE direction-sensitive dark-matter search
Takashi Hashimoto, Kentaro Miuchi, Kiseki Nakamura +7
NEWAGE is a direction-sensitive dark-matter-search experiment that uses a micro-patterned gaseous detector, or μ-PIC, as the readout. The main background sources are α-rays from ra…
Readout technologies for directional WIMP Dark Matter detection
J. B. R. Battat, I. G. Irastorza, A. Aleksandrov +90
The measurement of the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils is a compelling but technologically challenging strategy to provide an unambiguous signature of the detection of Ga…
