Muon simulation codes MUSIC and MUSUN for underground physics
V. A. Kudryavtsev
The paper describes two Monte Carlo codes dedicated to muon simulations: MUSIC (MUon SImulation Code) and MUSUN (MUon Simulations UNderground). MUSIC is a package for muon transpor…
Simulation of neutrons produced by high-energy muons underground
A. Lindote, H. M. Araujo, V. A. Kudryavtsev +1
This article describes the Monte Carlo simulation used to interpret the measurement of the muon-induced neutron flux in the Boulby Underground Laboratory (North Yorkshire, UK), rec…
First measurement of the Head-Tail directional nuclear recoil signature at energies relevant to WIMP dark matter searches
S. Burgos, E. Daw, J. Forbes +19
We present first evidence for the so-called Head-Tail asymmetry signature of neutron-induced nuclear recoil tracks at energies down to 1.5 keV/amu using the 1m^3 DRIFT-IIc dark mat…
Measurement of the Range Component Directional Signature in a DRIFT-II Detector using 252Cf Neutrons
S. Burgos, E. Daw, J. Forbes +19
The DRIFT collaboration utilizes low pressure gaseous detectors to search for WIMP dark matter with directional signatures. A 252Cf neutron source was placed on each of the princip…
Calculation of neutron background for underground experiments
V. Tomasello, V. A. Kudryavtsev, M. Robinson
New generation dark matter experiments aim at exploring the 10e-9 - 10e-10 pb cross-section region for the WIMP-nucleon scalar interactions. Neutrons produced in the detector compo…
Measurement of the quenching factor of Na recoils in NaI(Tl)
H. Chagani, P. Majewski, E. J. Daw +2
Measurements of the quenching factor for sodium recoils in a 5 cm diameter NaI(Tl) crystal at room temperature have been made at a dedicated neutron facility at the University of S…
