3He for axial detection of non-baryonic dark matter • spin 1/2 nucleus axial interaction • high “signal/noise” ratio : energy range ~ 1-5 keV • sensitive to M (WIMP) > 6 GeV • neutron capturesignature: n + 3He p + 3H + 764 keV • very low sensivity to -rays • in a gas form, the possibility to share a “patchy” matrix with other gases to follow the A cross section function Daniel Santos

Directionality at low pressure • Two different modes • High pressure (1, 2, 3 bars) to get WIMPs events !! • Low pressure (~100 mbar) to get directionality Range of recoils (x 10 ) (1bar to 100 mbar ) Diffusion (x 2) Drift velocity (x 2) More suitable scenario (TBC by experiment) Daniel Santos

Conclusions • The axial interaction should be explored • 3He is a very interesting target • High pressure (events) and low pressure (directionality) modes with the same detector • A matrix with different targets including 19F and H will allow to follow the p-n complementary and the cross section dependence • The quenching factor measurement in 3He and 4He is inminent • A collaboration with Drift collaboration and Zaragoza has started to define the Large TPC for nBDM search !

The lightest neutralino • lowest mass linear superposition of superpartners of the gauge and higgs bosons: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ = a1B + a2W3 + a3H1 + a4H2 • neutral, colorless, only weak interaction • stable with R-parity conservation • non-relativistic at decoupling CDM • relic density can be compatible with cosmological observations Daniel Santos
