摘要
The DRIFT experiment is the first directionally sensitive dark matter search. The design is based on a gaseous time projection chamber and employs carbon disulphide gas at low pressure. DRIFT-I was installed in the underground laboratory at Boulby mine in 2001 and has acquired more than 1500 hours of data. The second generation detector, DRJFT-II, is undergoing initial testing and will be installed in the new experimental hall at Boulby early in 2005.
