Time Projection Chamber (TPC) has been recognized as a potentially powerful detector for the WIMPs search by measuring the directions of nuclear recoils, in which the most convincing signature of WIMPs caused by the earth’s motion around the Galaxy appears [1]. Since the energy deposits of WIMPs to nuclei are only a few tens of keV and the ranges of nuclei are limited, such TPCs...

When Pauli first postulated the existence of the neutrino, he suggested that it would have no charge and no mass. This view held for almost 70 years, but a few years ago results from solar and atmospheric neutrino studies, now confirmed by terrestrial accelerator and reactor measurements, revealed the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations. This is the changing of one type of neutrino...

ZEPLIN III is a xenon detector for direct dark matter searches soon to be deployed underground at the Boulby mine (North Yorkshire, UK). This two-phase (liquid/gas) system will look for the rare nuclear recoils that should be produced by elastic scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) off xenon atoms. Neutron interactions can also cause nuclear recoils and...
