A prototype of a directional detector for non-baryonic dark matter search: MIMAC

MIMAC-He3: a new detector for non-baryonic dark matter search

Dark matter directional detection with MIMAC

MiMac is a project of micro-TPC matrix of gaseous (He, CF4) chambers for direct detection of non-baryonic dark matter. Measurement of both track and ionization energy will allow the electron-recoil discrimination, while access to the directionnality of the tracks will open a unique way to distinguish a geniune WIMP signal from any background. First reconstructed tracks of 5.9 keV electrons are ...

MIMAC : A Micro-TPC Matrix of Chambers for direct detection of Wimps

The project of a micro-TPC matrix of chambers of He and CF4 for direct detection of non-baryonic dark matter is outlined. The privileged properties of He are highlighted. The double detection (ionization projection of tracks) will assure the electronrecoil discrimination. The complementarity of MIMAC for supersymmetric dark matter search with respect to other experiments is illustrated.The modu...

Mimac-he3 : Micro-tpc Matrix of Chambers of 3 He

The project of a micro-TPC matrix of chambers of 3 He for direct detection of non-baryonic dark matter is outlined. The privileged properties of 3 He are highlighted. The double detection (ionization-projection of tracks) will assure the electron-recoil discrimination. The complementarity of MIMAC-He3 for supersymmetric dark matter search with respect to other experiments is illustrated.The mod...

A Project for a Micro-tpc Matrix of Chambers of Helium 3 for Axial Direct Detection of Non-baryonic Dark Matter

MIMAC-He3 (MIcro-tpc MAtrix of Chambers of Helium 3) is a project for direct detection of non-baryonic dark matter search using He as sensitive medium. The priviledged properties of He are highlighted. The double detection : ionization and track projection, is explained and rejection evaluated. A phenomenological study in effective SUSY models has been to investigate the MIMAC-He3 complementari...
