In-situ suppression of surface radon emanation using an HDPE barrier at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL)
R. R. Marcelo Gregorio, K. Mintern-Lane, S. Rushbrook +5
Radon-induced backgrounds remain a limiting factor in low-background experiments conducted in underground laboratories. The enclosed nature of these laboratories can result in elev…
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…
Direct in-chamber radon-220 (thoron) emanation measurements for rare-event physics experiments
R. R. Marcelo Gregorio, F. Dastgiri, A. Basharina-Freshville +7
Measuring radon emanation from detector materials is a key method for controlling radon, a significant background in rare-event physics experiments. Methods for measuring radon ema…
Coulomb excitation of Te: Emerging collectivity and persisting seniority structure in the level
M. Reece, B. J. Coombes, A. J. Mitchell +9
The low-lying energy spectra of even-even tellurium isotopes near midshell have long been interpreted as `textbook' examples of vibrational collective motion. However, in many case…
Photomultiplier Requirements and Pre-Calibration for the SABRE South Liquid Scintillator Veto
L. J. Milligan, P. Urquijo, E. Barberio +32
We present a study of the oil-proof base Hamamatsu R5912 photomultiplier tubes that will be used in the SABRE South linear-alkylbenzene liquid scintillator veto. SABRE South is a d…
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…
Molecular sieve vacuum swing adsorption purification and radon reduction system for gaseous dark matter and rare-event detectors
R. R. Marcelo Gregorio, N. J. C. Spooner, F. Dastgiri +5
In the field of directional dark matter experiments, SF6 has emerged as an ideal target gas. A critical challenge with this gas, and with other proposed gases, is the effective rem…
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.…
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…
