  3. Introduction: Direct DM search in 2010’s What will happen in 2010’s <1> DAMA (~100kg) : 7 years’ result <3> LIBRA (post DAMA): YES BACK to <1> NO or, MAYBE <2> “challenge DAMA” (~10kg):CDMS, EDELWEISS, XENON10 <4> “challenge SUSY” (~100kg): SUPER**, **0 NO NO NO YES, but not conclusive… for SUSY YES search **GeV ! atLCH, GLAST Please <5> use various nuclei, and What happened in 2000’s…

  4. １.DirectionsensitiveDMsearch“WIMP-wind”detection PLB 578 (2004) 241 SOLAR SYSTEM220 km/s WIMPV0 =230 km/s The WIMP-wind

  5. 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

  6. 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

  13. 3. SURFACE RUN June22, 2007 SUSYin2010’s

  14. 3 Surface run • Surface run① • 2006 Nov.1st ~ Nov.27th • exposure 0.15 kg days (=0.0089kg ×16.7days) • @Kyoto university (N35.03E135.783） • Energy spectrum（conventional method） Energy spectrum

  15. Surface run ② • The sky map (by nuclear recoil tracks) • flat neutron background is seen North sky view seen by C and F nuclei(100-400keV) • DM direction

  16. Surface run ③ • Cosθ distribution • consistent with a flat distribution Cosθ分布 (100-400keV) WE AREHERE DM limit • First step to theNEWAGE Jan 27, 2007 3rd MPGD workshop

  17. 4 Next step… KAMIOKA LAB-B • Underground run @ KAMIOKA • Data taking since January 2007. • low background material selection • background neutron measurement • TPC improvements @ KYOTO • larger TPC (30cm cube -> 60cm cube) • lower threshold (100keV -> 30keV) • readout ASIC (with KEK)

  18. SUMMARY • μTPC：30cm cube in operation • direction-sensitive method works! • NEWAGE：underground run just started Acknowledgement This work was partially supported by Grand-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas: "Discoveries of Higgs Particles and Supersymmetry to Pioneer the Particle Physics in the 21st Century"

  19. TPCperformance ② stability • Drift velocity: fast drop ⇒ slow decrease after 1 day • gain, energy resolution ：　stable withinthe systematic error

  20. TPC performance: nuclear track efficiency • neutrons from 252Cf • 0.4 @ 100keV

  21. 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

  22. 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)

  23. 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

  24. TPCperformance (with Ar+C2H6 gas) • Gas gains • operation gain for MIPs ~50,000 Gain curves • Gain uniformity • Maximum / minimum = 2.2 Gain map
