Exploring light dark matter with the DarkSPHERE spherical proportional counter electroformed underground at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
L. Balogh, C. Beaufort, M. Chapellier +37
We present the conceptual design and the physics potential of DarkSPHERE, a proposed 3 m in diameter spherical proportional counter electroformed underground at the Boulby Undergro…
First background-free limit from a directional dark matter experiment: results from a fully fiducialised DRIFT detector
J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +28
The addition of O2 to gas mixtures in time projection chambers containing CS2 has recently been shown to produce multiple negative ions that travel at slightly different velocities…
The ZEPLIN-III Anti-Coincidence Veto Detector
D. Yu. Akimov, H. M. Araujo, E. J. Barnes +34
The design, optimisation and construction of an anti-coincidence veto detector to complement the ZEPLIN-III direct dark matter search instrument is described. One tonne of plastic…
Limits on inelastic dark matter from ZEPLIN-III
D. Yu. Akimov, H. M. Araujo, E. J. Barnes +43
We present limits on the WIMP-nucleon cross section for inelastic dark matter derived from the 2008 run of ZEPLIN-III. Cuts, notably on scintillation pulse shape and scintillation-…
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…
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…
