Abstract
We present our most recent work on the use of integrated silicon pixel electronics to read out gas-filled Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). Such detectors have great promise to measure the direction and energy of neutral particles via nuclear recoils that ionize the gas. We report on ongoing studies and refinement of the first prototype constructed at the University of Hawaii. We present data on the detection of alpha particles and fast neutrons using Ar:CO2 (70:30) and He:CO2 (70:30) gas, respectively. We also present plans and sensitivity estimates for a future Dark Matter search based on the technology under study.
