Measurement of the cosmic muon flux at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory

G. Fu, M. Mews, F. Scutti +35

We report the first measurement of the underground cosmic muon flux at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory. The measurement uses eight EJ200 plastic scintillator panels, equ…

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…

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…
