论文摘要
直接检测暗物质是Astroparticle物理学中的一个关键问题，通常需要在低背景环境中使用深层实验室，在这种环境中，可以观察到来自暗物质相互作用的罕见信号。这项工作报告了Stawell地下物理实验室（目前正在建设中，也是南半球的第一个此类实验室 - 以及相关的研究计划。特定的重点将放在ANU对Saber的贡献中，Saber是NAI：TL暗物质直接检测实验，旨在确认或反驳长期存在的Dama结果。据报道，NAI：TL淬灭因子的初步测量和Saber液体闪烁体否决的表征。
The direct detection of dark matter is a key problem in astroparticle physics that generally requires the use of deep-underground laboratories for a low-background environment where the rare signals from dark matter interactions can be observed. This work reports on the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory - currently under construction and the first such laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere - and the associated research program. A particular focus will be given to ANU's contribution to SABRE, a NaI:Tl dark matter direct detection experiment that aims to confirm or refute the long-standing DAMA result. Preliminary measurements of the NaI:Tl quenching factor and characterisation of the SABRE liquid scintillator veto are reported.
