Abstract

DRIFT-II is a second generation multi-module gaseous dark matter detector. Each module contains two time projection chambers positioned back-to-back inside a stainless steel vacuum vessel containing carbon disulphide gas. This paper describes the DRIFT-II detector modules and the commissioning work performed to date.
