Measurement of directional range components of nuclear recoil tracks in a fiducialised dark matter detector

J. B. R. Battat, E. J. Daw, A. C. Ezeribe +16

We present results from the first measurement of axial range components of fiducialized neutron induced nuclear recoil tracks using the DRIFT directional dark matter detector. Nucl…

Imaging Fe Electron Tracks in a GEM-based TPC Using a CCD Readout

N. S. Phan, E. R. Lee, D. Loomba

Images of resolved 5.9 keV electron tracks produced from Fe X-ray interactions are presented for the first time using an optical readout time projection chamber (TPC). The c…

Low Threshold Results and Limits from the DRIFT Directional Dark Matter Detector

J. B. R. Battat, A. C. Ezeribe, J. -L. Gauvreau +18

We present results from a 54.7 live-day shielded run of the DRIFT-IId detector, the world's most sensitive, directional, dark matter detector. Several improvements were made relati…

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…

The novel properties of SF for directional dark matter experiments

N. S. Phan, R. Lafler, R. J. Lauer +4

SF is an inert and electronegative gas that has a long history of use in high voltage insulation and numerous other industrial applications. Although SF is used as a tr…

First measurement of nuclear recoil head-tail sense in a fiducialised WIMP dark matter detector

J. B. R. Battat, E. Daw, A. C. Ezeribe +17

Recent computational results suggest that directional dark matter detectors have potential to probe for WIMP dark matter particles below the neutrino floor. The DRIFT-IId detector…
