Project Details
Description
The PI proposes to design, build and test a prototype liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC) to observe collisions between weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and xenon atoms. By the end of the two-year program, the key technical issues associated with the TPC module of a larger scale will have been identified and resolved. This new design will be based on a liquid-xenon TPC that she developed for studying astrophysics gamma ray sources.
