We are going to present the CYGNO experiment whose goal is the development of a high precision optical readout gaseous TPC for directional Dark Matter search and solar neutrino spectroscopy, to be hosted at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). CYGNO (a CYGNus TPC with Optical readout) fits into the wider context of the CYGNUS proto-collaboration, for the development of a Galactic...
As dark matter experiments grow in size and more of the parameter space available to WIMPs is investigated and excluded, it is necessary to plan ahead to circumvent the looming neutrino fog, a goal further motivated by the recent claims of 8B hints seen across the much larger Xenon-based dark matter experiments. For an experiment which is only capable of reconstructing the recoil's energy,...
Particle detectors with sensitivity to the directions of low‑energy nuclear recoils open access to previously unprobed physics. Directional detection of coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CEvNS) would enable searches for potential beyond‑the‑Standard‑Model (BSM) effects in this interaction and provide a critical capability for exploring regions of dark‑matter parameter space...
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...
NEWAGE is a direction-sensitive WIMP search experiment using a three-dimensional tracking gaseous time projection chamber. We have developed C/N-1.0, a next-generation detector with a volume of approximately 1 m³, for use in the forthcoming underground dark matter search. Prior to its underground deployment, we conducted surface-laboratory operation tests to evaluate its performance. In this...
