Characterization of SABRE crystal NaI-33 with direct underground counting

M. Antonello, I. J. Arnquist, E. Barberio +43

Ultra-pure NaI(Tl) crystals are the key element for a model-independent verification of the long standing DAMA result and a powerful means to search for the annual modulation signa…

Simulation and background characterisation of the SABRE South experiment

E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli, L. J. Bignell +38

SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct detection dark matter experiment based on arrays of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims at achieving…

The DAMA/LIBRA signal: an induced modulation effect?

R. S. James, K. Rule, E. Barberio +36

The persistence of the DAMA/LIBRA (DAMA) modulation over the past two decades has been a source of great contention within the dark matter community. The DAMA collaboration reports…

A scalable and reconfigurable industrial-grade Slow Control System for SABRE-South Dark matter experiment

S. Krishnan, S. Collins, D. Smoors +10

The Sodium iodide Active Background Rejection Experiment-South (SABRE-South) is a direct dark matter detector soon to be deployed in the Stawell gold mine, in Victoria, Australia.…

Characterisation of Hamamatsu R11065-20 PMTs for use in the SABRE South NaI(Tl) Crystal Detectors

O. Stanley, W. J. D. Melbourne, P. Urquijo +31

The SABRE Experiment is a direct detection dark matter experiment using a target composed of multiple NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims to be an independent check of the DAMA/L…

Quenching factor measurements of sodium nuclear recoils in NaI:Tl determined by spectrum fitting

L. J. Bignell, I. Mahmood, F. Nuti +21

We have performed measurements of sodium nuclear recoils in NaI:Tl crystals, following scattering by neutrons produced in a Li(p,n)Be reaction. Understanding the light…
