The Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the T2K Near Detector ND280

D. Allan, C. Andreopoulos, C. Angelsen +106

The T2K experiment studies oscillations of an off-axis muon neutrino beam between the J-PARC accelerator complex and the Super-Kamiokande detector. Special emphasis is placed on me…

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…

Low Energy Electron and Nuclear Recoil Thresholds in the DRIFT-II Negative Ion TPC for Dark Matter Searches

S. Burgos, E. Daw, J. Forbes +18

Understanding the ability to measure and discriminate particle events at the lowest possible energy is an essential requirement in developing new experiments to search for weakly i…

First measurement of the Head-Tail directional nuclear recoil signature at energies relevant to WIMP dark matter searches

S. Burgos, E. Daw, J. Forbes +19

We present first evidence for the so-called Head-Tail asymmetry signature of neutron-induced nuclear recoil tracks at energies down to 1.5 keV/amu using the 1m^3 DRIFT-IIc dark mat…

Measurement of the Range Component Directional Signature in a DRIFT-II Detector using 252Cf Neutrons

S. Burgos, E. Daw, J. Forbes +19

The DRIFT collaboration utilizes low pressure gaseous detectors to search for WIMP dark matter with directional signatures. A 252Cf neutron source was placed on each of the princip…

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross-sections from the first ZEPLIN-II data

G. J. Alner et al.

The first underground data run of the ZEPLIN-II experiment has set a limit on the nuclear recoil rate in the two-phase xenon detector for direct dark matter searches. In this paper…
