A Background-Free Direction-Sensitive Neutron Detector2 A Background-Free Direction-Sensitive Neutron Detector

Alvaro Roccaro, H. Tomita, S. Ahlen +14

We show data from a new type of detector that can be used to determine neutron flux, energy distribution, and direction of neutron motion for both fast and thermal neutrons. Many n…

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…

DMTPC-10L: Direction-Sensitive Dark Matter Detector Prototype

D. Dujmic, P. Fisher, R. Lanza +13

The known direction of motion of dark matter particles relative to the Earth may be a key for their unambiguous identification even in the presence of backgrounds. We describe a pr…
