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…
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…
Track Reconstruction and Performance of DRIFT Directional Dark Matter Detectors using Alpha Particles
S. Burgos, J. Forbes, C. Ghag +20
First results are presented from an analysis of data from the DRIFT-IIa and DRIFT-IIb directional dark matter detectors at Boulby Mine in which alpha particle tracks were reconstru…
First Results from the DRIFT-IIa Dark Matter Detector
S. Burgos, J. Forbes, C. Ghag +19
Data from the DRIFT-IIa directional dark matter experiment are presented, collected during a near continuous 6 month running period. A detailed calibration analysis comparing data…
