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…
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…
