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…
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…
The DRIFT Dark Matter Experiments
E. Daw, A. Dorofeev, J. R. Fox +20
The current status of the DRIFT (Directional Recoil Identification From Tracks) experiment at Boulby Mine is presented, including the latest limits on the WIMP spin-dependent cross…
