Status report of the Tokyo axion helioscope experiment

Y. Inoue, M. Minowa, Y. Akimoto +3

We have searched for solar axions with a detector which consists of a 4T x 2.3m superconducting magnet, PIN-photodiode X-ray detectors, and an altazimuth mount to track the sun. Th…

Search for solar axions with mass around 1 eV using coherent conversion of axions into photons

Y. Inoue, Y. Akimoto, R. Ohta +3

A search for solar axions has been performed using an axion helioscope which is equipped with a 2.3m-long 4T superconducting magnet, a gas container to hold dispersion-matching gas…

Dark matter search experiment with CaF2(Eu) scintillator at Kamioka Observatory

Y. Shimizu, M. Minowa, W. Suganuma +1

We report recent results of a WIMP dark matter search experiment using 310g of CaF2(Eu) scintillator at Kamioka Observatory. We chose a highly radio-pure crystal, PMTs and radiatio…

Dark Matter Search with Direction Sensitive Scintillators

H. Sekiya, M. Mionwa, Y. Shimizu +2

We have carried out the dark matter search with a 116g direction-sensitive stilbene crystal in Kamioka Observatory. With the crystal fixed to the earth, we searched the modulation…

Measurements of anisotropic scintillation efficiency for carbon recoils in a stilbene crystal for dark matter detection

H. Sekiya, M. Minowa, Y. Shimizu +2

It is known that scintillation efficiency of organic single crystals depends on the direction of nuclear recoils relative to crystallographic axes. This property could be applied t…
