Measurement of directional range components of nuclear recoil tracks in a fiducialised dark matter detector
J. B. R. Battat, E. J. Daw, A. C. Ezeribe +16
We present results from the first measurement of axial range components of fiducialized neutron induced nuclear recoil tracks using the DRIFT directional dark matter detector. Nucl…
First measurement of nuclear recoil head-tail sense in a fiducialised WIMP dark matter detector
J. B. R. Battat, E. Daw, A. C. Ezeribe +17
Recent computational results suggest that directional dark matter detectors have potential to probe for WIMP dark matter particles below the neutrino floor. The DRIFT-IId detector…
Reducing DRIFT Backgrounds with a Submicron Aluminized-Mylar Cathode
James B. R. Battat, Ed Daw, Alexei Dorofeev +22
Background events in the DRIFT-IId dark matter detector, mimicking potential WIMP signals, are predominantly caused by alpha decays on the central cathode in which the alpha partic…
Radon in the DRIFT-II directional dark matter TPC: emanation, detection and mitigation
J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +26
Radon gas emanating from materials is of interest in environmental science and also a major concern in rare event non-accelerator particle physics experiments such as dark matter a…
Background Assay and Rejection in DRIFT
Jeff Brack, Ed Daw, Alexei Dorofeev +22
The DRIFT-IId dark matter detector is a m-scale low-pressure TPC with directional sensitivity to WIMP-induced nuclear recoils. Its primary backgrounds were due to alpha decays…
The Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the T2K Near Detector ND280
D. Allan, C. Andreopoulos, C. Angelsen +106
The T2K experiment studies oscillations of an off-axis muon neutrino beam between the J-PARC accelerator complex and the Super-Kamiokande detector. Special emphasis is placed on me…
Long-term study of backgrounds in the DRIFT-II directional dark matter experiment
J. Brack, E. Daw, A. Dorofeev +26
Low-pressure gas Time Projection Chambers being developed for directional dark matter searches offer a technology with strong particle identification capability combined with the p…
The DRIFT Dark Matter Experiments
E. Daw, A. Dorofeev, J. R. Fox +20
The current status of the DRIFT (Directional Recoil Identification From Tracks) experiment at Boulby Mine is presented, including the latest limits on the WIMP spin-dependent cross…
