摘要：

NEWAGE-0.3a is a prototype direction-sensitive dark matter search detector. We measured its response to electron tracks and nuclear tracks while focusing on the tracking performances in an underground laboratory. It showed a gamma-ray rejection power of 8.1 +/- 1.9 X 10(-6) at 100 keV alpha e.(alpha-equivalent) and an energy resolutions of 45% at 6 MeV alpha.e. The absolute nuclear efficiency was 80% at 100 keV alpha.e. and the nuclear directional-dependent efficiency was also measured. The three-dimensional angular resolution for the nuclear track was 46 +/- 3 degrees in the energy range from 100 keV alpha.e. to 400 keV alpha.e. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
