Triaxial -PIC for resolving Multi-Hit Ambiguity
A. Takada, M. Abe, Y. Yoshida +6
The micro pixel chamber (-PIC), a type of micro-pattern gaseous detectors (MPGD), features pixel electrodes structured similarly to a sliced proportional counter. Conventionally…
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…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
Development of a Negative Ion Micro TPC Detector with SF Gas for the Directional Dark Matter Search
T. Ikeda, T. Shimada, H. Ishiura +3
A negative ion micro time projection chamber (NITPC) was developed and its performance studied. An NITPC is a novel technology that enables the measurement of absolute co…
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…
Prototype Analog Front-end for Negative-ion Gas and Dual-phase Liquid-Ar TPCs
Miki Nakazawa, Tetsuichi Kishishita, Masayoshi Shoji +8
We report on the recent development of a versatile analog front-end compatible with a negative-ion -TPC for a directional dark matter search as well as a dual-phase, next-genera…
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…
