Measurement of the Neutron Cross Section on Argon Between 95 and 720 MeV
S. Martynenko, B. Bhandari, J. Bian +72
We report an extended measurement of the neutron cross section on argon in the energy range of 95-720 MeV. The measurement was obtained with a 4.3-hour exposure of the Mini-CAPTAIN…
Reducing DRIFT Backgrounds with a Submicron Aluminized-Mylar Cathode
James B. R. Battat, Ed Daw, Alexei Dorofeev +22
Background events in the DRIFT-IId dark matter detector, mimicking potential WIMP signals, are predominantly caused by alpha decays on the central cathode in which the alpha partic…
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…
Long-term study of backgrounds in the DRIFT-II directional dark matter experiment
J. Brack, E. Daw, A. Dorofeev +26
Low-pressure gas Time Projection Chambers being developed for directional dark matter searches offer a technology with strong particle identification capability combined with the p…
