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…
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…
Dark Matter Detector Radioimpurities I and Pb Measured with Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
Zuzana Slavkovská, Ferdos Dastgiri, L. Keith Fifield +7
Sodium iodide crystals doped with thallium NaI(Tl) can be used as detector material for direct dark matter detection by taking advantage of their particle detection properties of s…
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…
Characterisation of Hamamatsu R11065-20 PMTs for use in the SABRE South NaI(Tl) Crystal Detectors
O. Stanley, W. J. D. Melbourne, P. Urquijo +31
The SABRE Experiment is a direct detection dark matter experiment using a target composed of multiple NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims to be an independent check of the DAMA/L…
The SABRE South Technical Design Report Executive Summary
E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli, V. U. Bashu +42
In this technical design report (TDR) executive summary we describe the SABRE South detector to be built at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL). The SABRE South detec…
A Comparison of Micromegas with x/y Strip Charge Readouts for Directional Recoil Detection
Majd Ghrear, Alasdair G. McLean, Hima B. Korandla +3
Detecting the topology and direction of low-energy nuclear and electronic recoils is broadly desirable in nuclear and particle physics, with applications in coherent elastic neutri…
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…
CYGS: Detecting solar neutrinos with directional gas time projection chambers
Chiara Lisotti, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Elisabetta Baracchini +8
CYGNUS is a proposed global network of large-scale gas time projection chambers (TPCs) with the capability of directionally detecting nuclear and electron recoils at keV e…
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…
Simulation and background characterisation of the SABRE South experiment
E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli, L. J. Bignell +38
SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct detection dark matter experiment based on arrays of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims at achieving…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
