3 Motivation

4 1. Motivation PLB 578 (2004) 241 WIMP-wind detection SOLAR SYSTEM 220 km/s low pressure gas forward recoils short tracks WIMP V0 =230 km/s The WIMP-wind

5 WHY Direction-sensitive? Large mass for exclusion (and indication) BUT Annual modulation is not enough Direction-sensitive for a concrete evidence and further study of halo dark matter Annual modulation WIMP WIND F γ direction

6 Expected Sensitivities Goal: Detect the WIMP-wind low pressure ( CF bar ) large volume (1m 3 N) radio-pure materials CURRENT: pilot run CF bar (0.3m) 3 normal materials PLB 578 (2004) 241
