Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber: Recent R&D Results
J. B. R. Battat, S. Ahlen, M. Chernicoff +14
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber collaboration recently reported a dark matter limit obtained with a 10 liter time projection chamber filled with CF4 gas. The 10 liter detec…
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…
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…
The DMTPC detector
G. Sciolla, J. Battat, T. Caldwell +21
Directional detection of Dark Matter allows for unambiguous direct detection of WIMPs as well as discrimination between various Dark Matter models in our galaxy. The DMTPC detector…
Improved measurement of the head-tail effect in nuclear recoils
D. Dujmic, S. Ahlen, P. Fisher +13
We present new results with a prototype detector that is being developed by the DMTPC collaboration for the measurement of the direction tag (head-tail) of dark matter wind. We use…
Observation of the 'head-tail' effect in nuclear recoils of low-energy neutrons
D. Dujmic, H. Tomita, M. Lewandowska +13
Directional detection of dark matter can provide unambiguous observation of dark matter interactions even in the presence of background. This article presents an experimental metho…
