First Directional Dark Matter Limits from the MIMAC μ-TPC Detector

Ilias Ourahou, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +3

We present a directional dark matter search using the MIMAC (Micro-tpc Matrix of Chambers) detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. Operating a low-pressure gas mixture of i-…

3D-Deuteron Track Recoils Produced by Neutron Capture in Hydrogen Measured by MIMAC-35 cm

Ilias Ourahou, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +4

The neutron capture is a process that concerns most of the nuclei used to build our detectors. This process produces protons, alpha particles, and gamma rays which generate backgro…

The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter

M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40

Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…

Search for Light Dark Matter with NEWS-G at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane Using a Methane Target

M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40

The NEWS-G direct detection experiment uses spherical proportional counters to search for light dark matter candidates. New results from a 10 day physics run with a $135\,\mathrm{c…

Directional detection of keV proton and carbon recoils with MIMAC

C. Beaufort, O. Guillaudin, D. Santos +4

Directional detection is the dedicated strategy to demonstrate that DM-like signals measured by direct detectors are indeed produced by DM particles from the galactic halo. The exp…

Directional detection of meV dark photons with Dandelion

C. Beaufort, M. Bastero-Gil, A. Catalano +5

This paper presents Dandelion, a new dish antenna experiment searching for dark photons (DPs) with masses around the meV that will start acquiring data by the end of 2023. A spheri…
