Description
The DRIFT dark matter detector is a 1 cubic meter scale TPC with
direction sensitivity to WIMP recoils operating in the Boulby
Mine in England. The directional sensitivity allows DRIFT to
detect the sidereal modulation of the WIMP recoils and provide
an unambiguous confirmation of a dark matter interaction. We
present recent R&D progress which significantly reduces
our remaining backgrounds.
