WHY “Direction-sensitive” ?

Large mass for exclusion (

( ( (and indication) ) ) )

BUT Annual modulation is not enough… Direction-sensitive for detection

Sensitivities

Goal: Detect the WIMP-wind ( ( ( (2010~) ) ) )

  • underground・

・ ・ ・low pressure ( CF4 0.05 bar )・ ・ ・ ・ large volume ( ( ( (1m3 × × × × N) ) ) )

CURRENT:

  • surface・

・ ・ ・CF4 0.2 atm ・ ・ ・ ・30cm cube
