Developing a mass-production model of large-area Si(Li) detectors with high operating temperatures

M. Kozai, H. Fuke, M. Yamada +10

This study presents a fabrication process for lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors that, compared to previous methods, allows for mass production at a higher yield, while pro…

GAPS, low-energy antimatter for indirect dark-matter search

E. Vannuccini, T. Aramaki, R. Bird +37

The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is designed to carry out indirect dark matter search by measuring low-energy cosmic-ray antiparticles. Below a few GeVs the flux of ant…

Dark matter search experiment with CaF2(Eu) scintillator at Kamioka Observatory

Y. Shimizu, M. Minowa, W. Suganuma +1

We report recent results of a WIMP dark matter search experiment using 310g of CaF2(Eu) scintillator at Kamioka Observatory. We chose a highly radio-pure crystal, PMTs and radiatio…

Directional scintillation detector for the detection of the wind of WIMPs

Y. Shimizu, M. Minowa, H. Sekiya +1

The quenching factor of the proton recoil in the stilbene scintillator was measured with a 252Cf neutron source and was found to be 0.1 - 0.17 in the recoil energy range between 30…
