Scientific paper

A direction sensitive dark matter detector using organic crystals is being developed. It exploits the anisotropic scintillation efficiency of organic crystals with respect to the direction of nuclear recoils relative to crystallographic axes. A variation of about 7% was observed in the scintillation efficiency of carbon recoils in a stilbene crystal for recoil energies of 30 keV to 1 MeV. We have performed a pilot experiment at Kamioka to prove the feasibility of this method.
