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…

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…
