Identifying the new physics of dark matter is a primary scientific target for the 21st century. In our proposed work we will address the nature of dark matter by enhancing the sensitivity of direction-sensitive dark matter detectors by a factor of 100 per unit volume by developing a data acquisition system built around a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This collaborative, interdisciplinary, work unites the particle physics expertise of Dr. James Battat at Wellesley College with the digital electronics expertise of Dr. Martin Herbordt at Boston University.
