Description

The sensitivity of the direct dark matter search is being improved by various energy-sensitive experiments such as dual-phase liquid xenon detectors. In parallel, direction-sensitive dark matter searches are designed and taken place to reveal properties of the dark matter particle after its discovery or to explore beyond the neutrino fog. NEWAGE is one of the direction-sensitive WIMP search experiments using three-dimensional tracking gaseous TPC, placed in the Kamioka underground observatory. Recently we updated our detector and its gas purification system to reduce RI emission from the detector and gas, respectively. We will present the latest status of the underground direction-sensitive dark matter search experiment and its prospects.
