The Drift Directional Dark Matter Detector and First Studies of the Head-tail Effect
Measurement of the direction of the elastic nuclear recoil track and ionization charge distribution along it, gives unique possibility for unambiguous detection of the dark matter WIMP particle. Within current radiation detection technologies only Time Projection Chambers filled with low pressure gas are capable of such measurement. Due to the character of the electronic and nuclear stopping po...
متن کاملLimits on Low-Mass WIMP Dark Matter with an Ultra-Low-Energy Germanium Detector at 220 eV Threshold
The theme of the TEXONO research program is on the studies of low energy neutrino and dark matter physics. The current goals of the TEXONO research program are on the development of germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities to realize experiments on neutrino magnetic moments, neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, as well as WIMP dark matter searches. An energy threshold of 220 eV was achie...
متن کاملFirst dark matter limits from a large-mass, low-background, superheated droplet detector.
We report on the fabrication aspects and calibration of the first large active mass ( approximately 15 g) modules of SIMPLE, a search for particle dark matter using superheated droplet detectors (SDDs). While still limited by the statistical uncertainty of the small data sample on hand, the first weeks of operation in the new underground laboratory of Rustrel-Pays d'Apt already provide a sensit...
متن کاملDark Matter Results from Microlensing
Gravitational microlensing is established as a powerful method of discovering and characterizing populations of dark objects. Our collaboration, the MACHO collaboration, has discovered the bulk of the over 300 microlensing events that have been found. Most of these have been found towards the Galactic bulge, but for the dark matter question, which is the subject of this talk, only the dozen or ...
متن کاملDirectional detection of Dark Matter
Direct detection of WIMPs is key to understand the origin and composition of Dark Matter. Among the many experimental techniques available, those providing directional information have the potential of yielding an unambiguous observation of WIMPs even in the presence of insidious backgrounds. A measurement of the distribution of arrival direction of WIMPs can also discriminate between Galactic ...
