DMTPC: A dark matter detector with directional sensitivity
J. B. R. Battat, S. Ahlen, T. Caldwell +18
By correlating nuclear recoil directions with the Earth's direction of motion through the Galaxy, a directional dark matter detector can unambiguously detect Weakly Interacting Mas…
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…
Toward directional detection of Dark Matter with the DM-TPC detector
G. Sciolla, S. Ahlen, D. Dujmic +13
Directional detection can provide unambiguous observation of Dark Matter interactions even in presence of insidious backgrounds. The DM-TPC collaboration is developing a detector w…
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…
