First measurement of low intensity fast neutron background from rock at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
E. Tziaferi, M. J. Carson, V. A. Kudryavtsev +5
A technique to measure low intensity fast neutron flux has been developed. The design, calibrations, procedure for data analysis and interpretation of the results are discussed in…
Measurement of the Scintillation Efficiency of Na Recoils in NaI(Tl) down to 10 keV Nuclear Recoil Energy relevant to Dark Matter Searches
H. Chagani, P. Majewski, E. J. Daw +2
We present preliminary results of measurements of the quenching factor for Na recoils in NaI(Tl) at room temperature, made at a dedicated neutron facility at the University of Shef…
A two-phase argon avalanche detector operated in a single electron counting mode
A. Bondar, A. Buzulutskov, A. Grebenuk +6
The performance of a two-phase Ar avalanche detector in a single electron counting mode was studied, with regard to potential application in coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering an…
The ZEPLIN-III dark matter detector: instrument design, manufacture and commissioning
D. Yu. Akimov, G. J. Alner, H. M. Araujo +56
We present details of the technical design and manufacture of the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment. ZEPLIN-III is a two-phase xenon detector which measures both the scintillation…
Muon Simulations for Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND and CHOOZ
Alfred Tang, Glenn Horton-Smith, Vitaly A. Kudryavtsev +1
Muon backgrounds at Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND and CHOOZ are calculated using MUSIC. A modified version of the Gaisser sea level muon distribution and a well-tested Monte Carlo inte…
The ZEPLIN-III dark matter detector: performance study using an end-to-end simulation tool
H. M. Araujo, D. Yu. Akimov, G. J. Alner +53
We present results from a GEANT4-based Monte Carlo tool for end-to-end simulations of the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment. ZEPLIN-III is a two-phase detector which measures both…
