Description

Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter is a promising search strategy for discriminating geniune WIMP events from background ones. I will first review technical progress on directional detectors and present a comprehensive analysis method. The goal is to identify galactic Dark Matter by proving its correlation with the solar motion.

Summary

Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter is a promising
search strategy for discriminating geniune WIMP events from
background ones.
I will first review technical progress on directional detectors
(DRIFT, NEWAGE, DMTPC, MIMAC) based on white paper recently
published (arXiv:0911.0323).
I will then present a comprehensive formalism (arXiv:0911.4086),
using a map-based likelihood method. The goal is to show how to
exploit upcoming directional data in order to discover
galactic Dark Matter by proving its correlation
with the solar motion.
