  2. 51. DAMIC results and its current status
    Ms Jing Zhou (The University of Chicago)

    Dark Matter (Theory/Experiment) Parallel
    DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) is a dark matter search experiment running in SNOLAB, Canada. Results of the first run of DAMIC at SNOLAB will be discussed, with particular emphasis on its demonstrated sub-keVr threshold and characterization of the measured radioactive backgrounds. Comparisons to a MCNP-based detector simulation will be presented. These results suggest that a 100 g version of...

    Dark Matter (Theory/Experiment) Parallel
    The Directional Recoil Identification From Tracks (DRIFT) detector is a 1 m^3 scale negative ion TPC operating in the Boulby Mine in England. We present current limits from DRIFT and provide a brief update on background reduction efforts. A new DRIFT-II detector being constructed will demonstrate these background reduction ideas and show engineering feasibility towards scale up of a new...

  4. 5. Operation and First Data of DM-Ice17 at the South Pole
    Matt Kauer (UW Madison)

    Dark Matter (Theory/Experiment) Parallel
    DM-Ice17 is a set of two NaI(Tl) detectors with a combined mass of 17 kg located at a depth of 2450 m in the Antarctic ice at the South Pole. In this experiment the signature for WIMP dark matter is an annual modulation in the nuclear recoil signal events. DM-Ice17 is a prototype detector for a first direct search for dark matter in the Southern Hemisphere. Seasonal effects have a reversed...

  5. 48. The XENON100 experiment
    Ms Kyungeun Lim (UW-Madison)
    13/05/2013, 17:12
    Dark Matter (Theory/Experiment) Parallel
    XENON100 is a dual-phase (liquid-gas) time projection chamber (TPC) containing a total of 161 kg of LXe with a 62 kg WIMP target mass, built with radiopure materials to achieve an ultra-low electro- magnetic background and operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. 224.6 live days of data acquired during 2011 and 2012 have resulted in the most stringent limits on the...
