Directional direct dark mater detection

Talk

A large directional nuclear recoil observatory could be used to observe and distinguish different neutrino sources, to search for dark matter in the presence of irreducible background, including neutrinos, and to demonstrate the cosmological origin of a dark matter signal. With WIMP-nucleon scattering limits approaching the neutrino floor, and coherent neutrino-nucleon scattering...
