The ZEPLIN-III Anti-Coincidence Veto Detector
D. Yu. Akimov, H. M. Araujo, E. J. Barnes +34
The design, optimisation and construction of an anti-coincidence veto detector to complement the ZEPLIN-III direct dark matter search instrument is described. One tonne of plastic…
Limits on inelastic dark matter from ZEPLIN-III
D. Yu. Akimov, H. M. Araujo, E. J. Barnes +43
We present limits on the WIMP-nucleon cross section for inelastic dark matter derived from the 2008 run of ZEPLIN-III. Cuts, notably on scintillation pulse shape and scintillation-…
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…
Study and suppression of anomalous fast events in inorganic scintillators for dark matter searches
V. A. Kudryavtsev, N. J. C. Spooner, P. K. Lightfoot +34
The status of dark matter searches with inorganic scintillator detectors at Boulby mine is reviewed and the results of tests with a CsI(Tl) crystal are presented. The objectives of…
Measurements of Scintillation Efficiency and Pulse-Shape for Low Energy Recoils in Liquid Xenon
D. Akimov, A. Bewick, D. Davidge +19
Results of observations of low energy nuclear and electron recoil events in liquid xenon scintillator detectors are given. The relative scintillation efficiency for nuclear recoils…
CsI(Tl) for WIMP dark matter searches
V. A. Kudryavtsev, N. J. C. Spooner, D. R. Tovey +8
We report a study of CsI(Tl) scintillator to assess its applicability in experiments to search for dark matter particles. Measurements of the mean scintillation pulse shapes due to…
