First measurement of low intensity fast neutron background from rock at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
E. Tziaferi, M. J. Carson, V. A. Kudryavtsev +5
A technique to measure low intensity fast neutron flux has been developed. The design, calibrations, procedure for data analysis and interpretation of the results are discussed in…
Simulations of neutron background in a time projection chamber relevant to dark matter searches
M. J. Carson, J. C. Davies, E. Daw +12
Presented here are results of simulations of neutron background performed for a time projection chamber acting as a particle dark matter detector in an underground laboratory. The…
Neutron background in large-scale xenon detectors for dark matter searches
M. J. Carson, J. C. Davies, E. Daw +10
Simulations of the neutron background for future large-scale particle dark matter detectors are presented. Neutrons were generated in rock and detector elements via spontaneous fis…
Measurements of muon flux at 1070 metres vertical depth in the Boulby underground laboratory
M. Robinson, V. A. Kudryavtsev, R. Luscher +5
Measurements of cosmic-ray muon rates and energy deposition spectra in a one tonne liquid scintillator detector at 1070 metres vertical depth in the Boulby underground laboratory a…
The NAIAD experiment for WIMP searches at Boulby mine and recent results
B. Ahmed, G. J. Alner, H. Araujo +32
The NAIAD experiment (NaI Advanced Detector) for WIMP dark matter searches at Boulby mine (UK) is described. The detector consists of an array of encapsulated and unencapsulated Na…
Neutron background at Boulby mine
V. A. Kudryavtsev, P. K. Lightfoot, J. E. McMillan +7
The neutron background at the underground laboratory at Boulby - a site for several dark matter experiments - is discussed. Special emphasis is put on the neutron background produc…
