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…
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…
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…
