CYGNUS:ExperimentalApproach
• Gas Time Projection Chamber• Gas mixture: SF6:4He, p~1 atm
• Possibility of switching between higher density (search mode) gas and lower density gas mixtures for (improved) directional confirmation of WIMP signal
• Reduced diffusion via negative Ion drift (SF6 gas)
• Redundant 3D fiducialization• SF6 minority carriers• charge cloud profile
• Helium target• Improved sensitivity to low mass WIMP• Longer recoil tracks, extending directionality
to lower energies• Multiple readout plane options have been
successfully demonstrated
