论文摘要
在不久的将来，搜索WIMP暗物质将对太阳中微子敏感。方向检测提供了一种拒绝太阳中微子并改善wimp搜索的方法，但是对现有方向检测器达到这种敏感性会带来挑战。我们建议使用大容量的钻石检测器提出一种组合的原子/粒子物理方法。 WIMP候选事件触发了粒子探测器，此后氮空位中心的光谱读取了传入粒子的方向。我们讨论了实现钻石方向检测所需的技术的当前状态，并为探测器提供了在中微子地面以下灵敏度的探测器。
Searches for WIMP dark matter will in the near future be sensitive to solar neutrinos. Directional detection offers a method to reject solar neutrinos and improve WIMP searches, but reaching that sensitivity with existing directional detectors poses challenges. We propose a combined atomic/particle physics approach using a large-volume diamond detector. WIMP candidate events trigger a particle detector, after which spectroscopy of nitrogen vacancy centers reads out the direction of the incoming particle. We discuss the current state of technologies required to realize directional detection in diamond and present a path towards a detector with sensitivity below the neutrino floor.
