Description

The recent underground result from the DMTPC 10L detector made use of images from a ccd camera to reconstruct tracks in two dimensions, and to locate them in the amplification region. No information about the third dimension of the track or the location of the event along the drift dimension was obtained. The use of photomultiplier tubes and charge readout electronics enable both the reconstruction of the third dimension of tracks, and the full 3D position information of events. In this talk, I'll describe our collaboration's recent work in this area, including 3D fiducialization with charge readout alone, and a measurement of the extent of the track along the drift direction using both charge readout and PMTs. In addition, I'll describe recent results from a 20L volume detector that is read out with four CCD cameras, three PMTs, as well as charge amplifiers.
