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…
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…
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…
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…
