Operation of a negative ion gas time projection chamber without electronegative fill gases
Lachlan J. McKie, Lindsey J. Bignell, Nicholas Adams +3
The high fidelity reconstruction of particle tracks in micropatterned gaseous time projection chambers renders this technology ideal for future rare-event searches, including direc…
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…
Performance of a Ton-scale Water-based Liquid Scintillator Detector
Rong Zhao, Lindsey Bignell, David E. Jaffe +4
This study reports the performance and light yield of 1% concentration water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) deployed in a 1000-liter detector. A light yield of 9915 photons…
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…
