Description
NEWAGE is a world leading direct dark matter search experiment with directional analysis. The experiment has been conducted in the Kamioka underground observatory. We use a 30 × 30 × 41 cm^3 scale gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with micro-Pixel Chamber (μ-PIC) which have two-dimentional strip-type readout electrodes with a pitch or 400 μm. In order to improve the sensitivity, BG rejection campaign has currently been taken place. We will present the status of the NEWAGE experiment, especially about the BG study and our future plans.
