Likelihood Approach to the First Dark Matter Results from XENON100
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +43
Many experiments that aim at the direct detection of Dark Matter are able to distinguish a dominant background from the expected feeble signals, based on some measured discriminati…
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…
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…
First measurement of low intensity fast neutron background from rock at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
E. Tziaferi, M. J. Carson, V. A. Kudryavtsev +5
A technique to measure low intensity fast neutron flux has been developed. The design, calibrations, procedure for data analysis and interpretation of the results are discussed in…
Simulations of neutron background in a time projection chamber relevant to dark matter searches
M. J. Carson, J. C. Davies, E. Daw +12
Presented here are results of simulations of neutron background performed for a time projection chamber acting as a particle dark matter detector in an underground laboratory. The…
