Background Rejection in the DMTPC Dark Matter Search Using Charge Signals
J. P. Lopez, D. Dujmic, S. Ahlen +11
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) collaboration is developing a low pressure gas TPC for detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP)-nucleon interactions. Op…
Background Rejection in the DMTPC Dark Matter Search Using Charge Signals
J. P. Lopez, S. Ahlen, J. Battat +25
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) collaboration is developing low-pressure gas TPC detectors for measuring WIMP-nucleon interactions. Optical readout with CCD cameras…
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…
First Dark Matter Search Results from a Surface Run of the 10-L DMTPC Directional Dark Matter Detector
S. Ahlen, J. B. R. Battat, T. Caldwell +21
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) is a low pressure (75 Torr CF4) 10 liter detector capable of measuring the vector direction of nuclear recoils with the goal of dire…
The case for a directional dark matter detector and the status of current experimental efforts
S. Ahlen, N. Afshordi, J. B. R. Battat +109
We present the case for a dark matter detector with directional sensitivity. This document was developed at the 2009 CYGNUS workshop on directional dark matter detection, and conta…
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…
