Transmission of light in deep sea water at the site of the Antares neutrino telescope
ANTARES collaboration
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is a large photomultiplier array designed to detect neutrino-induced upward-going muons by their Cherenkov radiation. Understanding the absorption an…
Muon-induced neutron production and detection with GEANT4 and FLUKA
H. M. Araujo, V. A. Kudryavtsev, N. J. C. Spooner +1
We report on a comparison study of the Monte Carlo packages GEANT4 and FLUKA for simulating neutron production by muons penetrating deep underground. GEANT4 is found to generate fe…
Dark matter experiments at Boulby mine
V. A. Kudryavtsev
The Boulby Dark Matter Collaboration (BDMC) is running several experiments for particle (WIMP) dark matter search in the Underground Boulby Laboratory. These include a liquid xenon…
Exploring the Universe with the ANTARES neutrino telescope
V. A. Kudryavtsev
The ANTARES Collaboration is currently constructing a large neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea. The telescope will use a three-dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes (…
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…
