Transport of CS2 negative ions
• Diffusion is ~ thermal (both transverse and longitudinal)
low diffusion increases active volume per readout area
• Drift speeds are ~5 cm/ms or ~20 us/mm

• Improved trigger to capture lower energy eventsFactor of ~2 in threshold
• Improve efficiency at high-zz-reconstruction does not rely on S-peak
• Gas circulation to maintain O2 partial pressureMinority peak ionization is strongly O2 dependent.
• Can we do better at low z (z<10cm)?• Will new backgrounds appear?6/2/2015

Summary
• A 1 pb limit is on the arXiv:1410.7821
• Since then, upgrades to the detector and analysis have improved the reach by another factor of ~3 to give σSD-p~ 0.3 pb
• Have ~65 live-days in-hand (and counting).

Waveform conditioning
• Frequency filtering – 55 kHz noise notch filter (HV supply)– 50 Hz line noise (subtract sine fit)
• Undershoot correction– Shaping electronics (4 us shaping time)
cause undershoot
• Analysis threshold is 9 mV (trigger threshold was 30 mV). What is waveform baseline RMS?

Passes cuts on:• xy
fiducialization• Risetime• Multiples
Fails cut because:• Cathode-
crossing• Range too long
(all anode lines hit)
• ROI cut
• RATE OF ALPHAS???

Stage I cuts
• xy-fiducialization (veto above threshold)• Temporal ROI cut (+/- 700 us)• Cathode-crossing events (hits in both
TPCs)• Multiples (non-contiguous hits)• Maximum range (all 8 anode channels Ry
>16 mm)• Impulse charge deposition (risetime <
3us)

Energy reconstruction
• Compute event energy in mV*usSum up waveform integrals for all anode channels above an analysis threshold (9 mV).
• Convert to NIPs (equivalently keVee)Calibration constant derived from frequent 55Fe calibrations studies – stable to ~4% over experiment. Also: W=25.2 eV *
• Convert to keVr
Use [Hitachi 2008] prediction.For CS2:CF4 quenching measurements, see talks by Dinesh Loomba (DAY, TIME) and Alex Lumnah (DAY, TIME)
* W not yet measured for CS2:CF4:O2 mixture, but expect ~1% change from CS2:CF4, which has been measured [P&S 2009].

Transport of CS2 negative ions
• Diffusion is ~ thermal (both transverse and longitudinal)
• Drift speeds are ~5 cm/ms aka ~20 us/mm“low-field” approximation hold even at 580 V/cm

TO DO• Dates for new limit run (July to October 2014)• Verify gas gain = 1000• Why is 55-day efficiency so high at z~50cm? (used to be 10-30%, is now 25-90%)?• Capacitance of ONE anode wire? Cap. when grouping 56 of them into one preamp?
• Rates of events that get cut???• What is alpha rate? ~1/4 Hz.
• Why are so many anode wires needed for the veto? (43 on each side, plus 9 guard wires on each side).
• What is new triggering scheme (integral?)18 us boxcar averaging for trigger. New threshold is 15 mV. 50% at 500 NIPs
• Validation that waveform filtering (notch filter, 50 Hz, undershoot removal) preserve event quantities like energy, head tail, etc.?
• Why integrate waveforms (vs. take amplitude) for NIPs? Isn’t it already integrated by electronics?
• Check collaboration slide• Fix “Boulby Mine” slide.• Fe55 252 e-
