Particle Physics Seminar

"Development of a Novel, Direction-Sensitive, Dark Matter Detector"

Presented by Steven Ahlen, Boston University

Wednesday, March 7, 2007, 3:30 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Physicists from Boston University, Brandeis University and MIT are developing a low-cost time projection chamber with optical readout for use as a dark matter detector. The device will be able to identify dark matter particles through nuclear recoils, and also has the potential to determine the direction of the dark matter "wind." Progress and plans for the project will be presented.
