Description

The NIT (Nano Imaging Tracker), developed and studied at Nagoya University since 2010, is a promising tool for searching for dark matter signals, which are expected to be observable only with several tens keV of recoiled atoms by it.

We have set up a manufacturing plant of NIT at the National Laboratory of Gran Sasso in Italy and have conducted joint research as a NEWSdm experiment. In recent years, its high-resolution device characteristics have been applied to the QUPLAS experiment, which aims to identify delicate patterns of antimatter interferometry, and the FOOT experiment, which aims to model nuclear fragmentation in hadrontherapy with high precision. This talk will discuss recent progress, including the development of these applications.
