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…
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…
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…
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…
