CYGNUS: Feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional
sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos
Now that conventional weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter searches are approaching the neutrino floor, there has been a resurgence of interest in detectors with sensitivity to nuclear recoil directions. A large-scale directional detector is attractive in that it would have sensitivity below the neutrino floor, be capable of …
