1.DirectionsensitiveDMsearch“WIMP-wind”detection PLB 578 (2004) 241 SOLAR SYSTEM220 km/s WIMPV0 =230 km/s The WIMP-wind
WIMP WIND γ F • WHY “Direction-sensitive” ? • Large mass for exclusion (and indication) • BUT Annual modulation is not enough… • Direction-sensitive for detection Annualmodulation direction
sensitivity • Sensitivities • Goal: Detect the WIMP-wind (2010~) • underground・low pressure ( CF4 0.05 bar )・large volume (1m3 × N) • CURRENT: • surface・CF4 0.2 atm ・30cm cube

検出器応答 a a+Li • エネルギー校正 • ガラスに蒸着した10B( 厚さ0.6μm ) • ドリフトケージ内部にセット、外から252Cfの中性子を減速して照射 • 10B(n,a)7Li 反応 (Q=2.70MeV 1.8MeV for a) • 原子核による校正、低エネルギーへの線形性は別途確認示す必要あり • 現状では、校正には6時間程度、見せれる絵には12時間程度かかっている XYイメージ スペクトル スペクトル(GEANT4) keV エネルギー vs 飛跡長 2000 keV
検出器応答 • 位置分解能から角度分解能 • アルファ線の飛跡を直線フィット、残差を求める:0.8mm • BG runのC,F recoilでの 飛跡長 / (nhit-1) = 1mm(サンプリング密度) • 上記二つのパラメータをもちいてsimulation振る。 • NHIT=3 で直線FITすると左の様になる。 • ローレンツィアンでFITして、γ=25°(=HWHM)
検出器応答 • エネルギー分解能 • 高エネルギー(5-8MeV)ではラドンのピークを使ってモニタ • 40%FWHM • これは検出器固有の数字(ゲインのばらつきが効いている) • 低エネルギーでは、以前のArでの実測60%FWHM@60keV • これが電子数統計とすると、W値、エネルギーで外挿すると、60×sqrt((54/26)×(60/100))=70%FWHM@100keV 60%@59.5keV
