Status and Prospects of the DMTPC Directional Dark Matter Experiment

The DMTPC directional dark matter detection experiment is a low-pressure CF4 gas time projection chamber, instrumented with charge and scintillation photon readout. This detector design strategy emphasizes reconstruction of WIMPinduced nuclear recoil tracks, in order to determine the direction of in...
