Results from the DRIFT Dark Matter Search
Abstract
DRIFT [1] is the only direction-sensitive WIMP Dark Matter search experiment now running underground. It employs a novel detector invented for this purpose: the Negative Ion TPC (NITPC). Data is collected in the form of digitized time-records of signals received on each active anode wire of the NITPC endcap. New Results from 2002 data taking will be presented, especially on underground neutron calibration and background. [1] Low Pressure Negative Ion TPC for Dark Matter Search. D. P.Snowden-Ifft, C. J.
