Readout technologies for directional WIMP Dark Matter detection
J. B. R. Battat, I. G. Irastorza, A. Aleksandrov +90
The measurement of the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils is a compelling but technologically challenging strategy to provide an unambiguous signature of the detection of Ga…
Radon in the DRIFT-II directional dark matter TPC: emanation, detection and mitigation
J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +26
Radon gas emanating from materials is of interest in environmental science and also a major concern in rare event non-accelerator particle physics experiments such as dark matter a…
Background Assay and Rejection in DRIFT
Jeff Brack, Ed Daw, Alexei Dorofeev +22
The DRIFT-IId dark matter detector is a m-scale low-pressure TPC with directional sensitivity to WIMP-induced nuclear recoils. Its primary backgrounds were due to alpha decays…
