GEM-based TPC with CCD Imaging for Directional Dark Matter Detection
N. S. Phan, R. J. Lauer, E. R. Lee +3
The world's leading directional dark matter experiments currently all utilize low-pressure gas Time Projection Chamber (TPC) technologies. We discuss some of the challenges for thi…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Conceptual Design Report
The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +192
The design and performance of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector is described as of March 2015 in this Conceptual Design Report. LZ is a second-generation dark-matter detector with the p…
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…
