First Directional Dark Matter Limits from the MIMAC μ-TPC Detector
Ilias Ourahou, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +3
We present a directional dark matter search using the MIMAC (Micro-tpc Matrix of Chambers) detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. Operating a low-pressure gas mixture of i-…
3D-Deuteron Track Recoils Produced by Neutron Capture in Hydrogen Measured by MIMAC-35 cm
Ilias Ourahou, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +4
The neutron capture is a process that concerns most of the nuclei used to build our detectors. This process produces protons, alpha particles, and gamma rays which generate backgro…
Directional detection of keV proton and carbon recoils with MIMAC
C. Beaufort, O. Guillaudin, D. Santos +4
Directional detection is the dedicated strategy to demonstrate that DM-like signals measured by direct detectors are indeed produced by DM particles from the galactic halo. The exp…
Directionality and head-tail recognition in the keV-range with the MIMAC detector by deconvolution of the ionic signal
Cyprien Beaufort, Olivier Guillaudin, Jean-François Muraz +3
Directional detection is the only strategy for the unambiguous identification of galactic Dark Matter (DM) even in the presence of an irreducible background such as beyond the neut…
On the Eptihermal Neutron Energy Limit for Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (AB-BNCT): Study and Impact of New Energy Limits
Marine Hervé, Nadine Sauzet, Daniel Santos
Background and purpose: Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is a radiotherapy based on compact accelerator neutron sources requiring an epithermal neutron field for tum…
Dark Matter Directionality Detection performance of the Micromegas-based TPC-MIMAC detector
Y. Tao, C. Beaufort, I. Moric +9
Directional Dark Matter Detection (DDMD) can open a new signature for Weakly Massive Interacting Particles (WIMPs) Dark Matter. The directional signature provides in addition, an u…
Fast neutron spectroscopy from 1 MeV up to 15 MeV with Mimac-FastN, a mobile and directional fast neutron spectrometer
Nadine Sauzet, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +5
In the frame of direct dark matter search, the fast neutrons producing elastic collisions are the ultimate background. The MIMAC (MIcro-tpc MAtrix Chambers) project has developed a…
Track length measurement of F ions with the MIMAC Dark Matter directional detector prototype
Y. Tao, C. Beaufort, I. Moric +9
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are one of the most preferred candidate for Dark Matter. WIMPs should interact with the nuclei of detectors. If a robust signal is even…
Cathode signal in a TPC directional detector: implementation and validation measuring the drift velocity
C. Couturier, Q. Riffard, N. Sauzet +3
Low-pressure gaseous TPCs are well suited detectors to correlate the directions of nuclear recoils to the galactic Dark Matter (DM) halo. Indeed, in addition to providing a measure…
Directional detection of Dark Matter with the MIcro-tpc MAtrix of Chambers
C. Couturier, O. Guillaudin, F. Naraghi +10
Particles weakly interacting with ordinary matter, with an associated mass of the order of an atomic nucleus (WIMPs), are plausible candidates for Dark Matter. The direct detection…
Dark Matter directional detection: comparison of the track direction determination
C. Couturier, J. P. Zopounidis, N. Sauzet +2
Several directional techniques have been proposed for a directional detection of Dark matter, among others anisotropic crystal detectors, nuclear emulsion plates, and low-pressure…
