Improved Sensitivity of the DRIFT-IId Directional Dark Matter Experiment using Machine Learning
J. B. R. Battat, C. Eldridge, A. C. Ezeribe +18
We demonstrate a new type of analysis for the DRIFT-IId directional dark matter detector using a machine learning algorithm called a Random Forest Classifier. The analysis labels e…

CYGNUS: Feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos
S. E. Vahsen, C. A. J. O'Hare, W. A. Lynch +16
Now that conventional weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter searches are approaching the neutrino floor, there has been a resurgence of interest in detectors with…

Demonstration of ThGEM-Multiwire Hybrid Charge Readout for Directional Dark Matter Searches
A. C. Ezeribe, C. Eldridge, W. Lynch +3
Sensitivities of current directional dark matter search detectors using gas time projection chambers are now constrained by target mass. A ton-scale gas TPC detector will require l…
