  4. Sensitivity (Spin Dependent) • Our Plan of direction sensitive DM serch • Gas target + 3D tracking device (next section) • Tracking recoil nucleus • Gamma rejection by dE/dx • Goal: Detect the WIMP-wind　（2010~） • underground・low pressure ( CF4 0.05 bar ) • large volume （1m3 × N） • CURRENT: • CF4 0.2 bar • 23×27×30 cm3
