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…
First background-free limit from a directional dark matter experiment: results from a fully fiducialised DRIFT detector
J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +28
The addition of O2 to gas mixtures in time projection chambers containing CS2 has recently been shown to produce multiple negative ions that travel at slightly different velocities…
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…
Spin-Dependent Limits from the DRIFT-IId Directional Dark Matter Detector
E. Daw, J. R. Fox, J. -L. Gauvreau +15
Data are presented from the DRIFT-IId detector housed in the Boulby mine in northeast England. A 0.8 m^3 fiducial volume, containing partial pressures of 30 Torr CS2 and 10 Torr CF…
