We are going to present for the first time Negative Ion Drift (NID) operation in He:CF4:SF6 at nearly atmospheric pressure within a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with optical readout via PMTs and scientific CMOS camera (sCMOS). These results have been obtained in the context of the CYGNO/INITIUM project, for the development of high precision 3D TPC for directional direct Dark Matter searches....
NEWAGE is the experiment of direction-sensitive dark matter search using low pressure gaseous TPC with micro pattern strip readout (μ-PIC). It allows to measure the distribution of angles of WIMP-nuclear recoil by track reconstruction, and it leads a positive signature of dark matter. In recent years, large size (~1 m3) TPC filled with SF6 gas, which is so called “negative-ion gas”, is under...
IAXO is a large scale axion helioscope that will look for axions and axion-like particles produced in the Sun with unprecedented sensitivity. BabyIAXO is an in intermediate experimental stage that will be hosted at DESY (Germany) and that will test all IAXO subsytems serving as a prototype for IAXO but at same time as a fully-fledged helioscope with relevant physics at reach in itself and with...
