DMTPC: Dark matter detection with directional sensitivity

J. B. R. Battat, S. Ahlen, T. Caldwell +21

The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) experiment uses CF_4 gas at low pressure (0.1 atm) to search for the directional signature of Galactic WIMP dark matter. We describe…

DMTPC: A dark matter detector with directional sensitivity

J. B. R. Battat, S. Ahlen, T. Caldwell +18

By correlating nuclear recoil directions with the Earth's direction of motion through the Galaxy, a directional dark matter detector can unambiguously detect Weakly Interacting Mas…

Transport properties of electrons in CF4

T. Caldwell, A. Roccaro, T. Sahin +17

Carbon-tetrafluoride (CF4) is used as a counting gas in particle detectors, but some of its properties that are of interest for large time-projection chambers are not well known. W…

The DMTPC project

G. Sciolla, J. Battat, T. Caldwell +17

The DMTPC detector is a low-pressure CF4 TPC with optical readout for directional detection of Dark Matter. The combination of the energy and directional tracking information allow…
