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…
Pulse Shape Discrimination of low-energy nuclear and electron recoils for improved particle identification in NaI:Tl
N. J. Spinks, L. J. Bignell, G. J. Lane +20
The scintillation mechanism in NaI:Tl crystals produces different pulse shapes that are dependent on the incoming particle type. The time distribution of scintillation light from n…
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…
High sensitivity characterization of an ultra-high purity NaI(Tl) crystal scintillator with the SABRE proof-of-principle detector
F. Calaprice, S. Copello, I. Dafinei +23
We present new results on the radiopurity of a 3.4-kg NaI(Tl) crystal scintillator operated in the SABRE proof-of-principle detector setup. The amount of potassium contamination, d…
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…
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…
SABRE and the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory: Dark Matter Research at the Australian National University
Lindsey J. Bignell, Elisabetta Barberio, Michaela B. Froehlich +13
The direct detection of dark matter is a key problem in astroparticle physics that generally requires the use of deep-underground laboratories for a low-background environment wher…
Monte Carlo simulation of the SABRE PoP background
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +45
SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct dark matter search experiment based on an array of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals surrounded by a liquid scintillato…
The SABRE project and the SABRE PoP
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +46
SABRE aims to directly measure the annual modulation of the dark matter interaction rate with NaI(Tl) crystals. A modulation compatible with the standard hypothesis in which our Ga…
