Direction-sensitive dark matter search results in a surface laboratory

Kentaro Miuchi, Kaori Hattori, Shigeto Kabuki +10

We developed a three-dimensional gaseous tracking device and performed a direction-sensitive dark matter search in a surface laboratory. By using 150 Torr carbon-tetrafluoride (CF_…

Development of Gaseous Tracking Devices for the Search of WIMPs

H. Sekiya, K. Hattori, S. Kabuki +10

The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) has been recognized as a potentially powerful detector for the search of WIMPs by measuring the directions of nuclear recoils, in which the most c…

Development of an advanced Compton camera with gaseous TPC and scintillator

A. Takada, K. Hattori, H. Kubo +8

A prototype of the MeV gamma-ray imaging camera based on the full reconstruction of the Compton process has been developed. This camera consists of a micro-TPC that is a gaseous Ti…

MeV Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector with micro-TPC

Toru Tanimori, Hidetoshi Kubo, Kentaro Miuchi +5

We propose a new imaging gamma-ray detector in the MeV region. By measuring the directions and energies of not only a scattered gamma ray but also a recoil electron, the direction…

Detecting the WIMP-wind via spin-dependent interactions

Toru Tanimori, Hidetoshi Kubo, Kentaro Miuchi +4

Revealing the nature of dark matter is one of the most interesting tasks in astrophysics. Measuring the distribution of recoil angles is said to be one of the most reliable methods…
