Development of a low-background micro pixel chamber for directional dark matter searches
Ryota Namai, Satoshi Higashino, Hirohisa Ishiura +11
Direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can provide strong evidence of their existence and the directional method would have an advantage over other method…
First reconstruction of absolute three-dimensional position of nuclear recoils using a negative ion -TPC for dark matter search experiments
Satoshi Higashino, Takuya Shimada, Tomonori Ikeda +5
Studies of micro time projection chambers using negative ion gas (NITPC) are conducted especially for direction-sensitive dark matter searches. A NITPC enables to measure the…
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…
MPGD simulation in negative-ion gas for direction-sensitive dark matter searches
Hirohisa Ishiura, Rob Veenhof, Kentaro Miuchi +1
Negative-ion time projection chambers (NITPCs) provide the absolute z-position from the arrival-times' difference of several species of negative-ions. This is a strong background r…
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…
