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…
