Charge Amplification in Sub-atmospheric CF4:He Mixtures for Directional Dark Matter Searches
A. G. McLean, N. J. C. Spooner, T. Crane +4
Low pressure gaseous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are a viable technology for directional Dark Matter (DM) searches and have the potential for exploring the parameter space belo…
Molecular sieve vacuum swing adsorption purification and radon reduction system for gaseous dark matter and rare-event detectors
R. R. Marcelo Gregorio, N. J. C. Spooner, F. Dastgiri +5
In the field of directional dark matter experiments, SF6 has emerged as an ideal target gas. A critical challenge with this gas, and with other proposed gases, is the effective rem…
Gas Gains Over 10 and Optimisation using Fe X-rays in Low Pressure SF with a Novel Multi-Mesh ThGEM for Directional Dark Matter Searches
A. G. McLean, N. J. C. Spooner, T. Crane +4
The Negative Ion Drift (NID) gas SF has favourable properties for track reconstruction in directional Dark Matter (DM) searches utilising low pressure gaseous Time Projection C…
An experiment to search for dark matter interactions using sodium iodide detectors
Govinda Adhikari, Pushparaj Adhikari, Estella Barbosa de Souza +47
Observations of galaxies and primordial radiation suggest that the Universe is made mostly of non-luminous dark matter. Several types of new fundamental particles have been propose…
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…
