Summary

The DRIFT (Directional Recoil Identification From Tracks) experiment is the world leading directional dark matter detector in terms of sensitivity, searching for a galactic signature from WIMP-induced nuclear recoils. DRIFT has been running background free for over a year and the latest results from this data will be presented, along with recent studies on the directional capabilities of the detector and prospects for the future.
