Description
We present simulation studies of Time Projection Chambers (TPCs), where the drift charge is amplified
with Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) and detected with pixel electronics. The ionization in the target gas
is detected with low noise, good position and time resolution, and high efficiency. These features are
promising for improved detection of charged particles and fast neutrons, and may allow dark matter
searches with improved sensitivity, particularly for low-mass WIMP candidates. We will present ongoing
simulation studies, including first sensitivity-estimates for a Directional Dark Matter Detector (D3) and a
Directional Neutron Observer (DiNO) based on these technologies.
