Simulations of muon-induced neutron flux at large depths underground
- V. Kudryavtsev, N. Spooner, J. Mcmillan
- Physics
- 9 March 2003
The production of neutrons by cosmic-ray muons at large depths underground is discussed. The most recent versions of the muon propagation code MUSIC, and particle transport code FLUKA are used to… Expand
The case for a directional dark matter detector and the status of current experimental efforts
- S. Ahlen, N. Afshordi, +109 authors H. Yegoryan
- Physics
- 1 November 2009
We present the case for a dark matter detector with directional sensitivity. This document was developed at the 2009 CYGNUS workshop on directional dark matter detection, and contains contributions… Expand
First search for a dark matter annual modulation signal with NaI(Tl) in the Southern Hemisphere by DM-Ice17

- Physics
- 4 June 2003
Abstract Measurements of cosmic-ray muon rates and energy deposition spectra in a 1 t liquid scintillator detector at 1070 m vertical depth in the Boulby underground laboratory are discussed. In… Expand
Low energy neutron propagation in MCNPX and GEANT4
- R. Lemrani, M. Robinson, V. Kudryavtsev, M. Jésus, G. Gerbier, N. Spooner
- Physics
- 17 January 2006
Simulations of neutron background from rock for underground experiments are presented. Neutron propagation through two types of rock, lead and hydrocarbon material, is discussed. The results show a… Expand
Muon-induced neutron production and detection with GEANT4 and FLUKA
- H. Araújo, V. Kudryavtsev, N. Spooner, T. Sumner
- Physics
- 5 November 2004
Abstract 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 fewer… Expand
Neutron background in large-scale xenon detectors for dark matter searches
- M. Carson, J. C. Davies, +10 authors D. Tovey
- Physics
- 30 April 2004
Abstract 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 fission and… Expand

- D. Akimov, A. Bewick, +19 authors C. K. Ward
- Physics
- 8 June 2001
Abstract Results of observations of low energy nuclear and electron recoil events in liquid xenon scintillator detectors are given. The relative scintillation efficiency for nuclear recoils is… Expand
First data from DM-Ice17
- DM-Ice Collaboration J. Cherwinka, D. Grant, +17 authors L. Yang
- Physics
- 20 January 2014
Astrophysical observations have provided convincing evidence for the existence of dark matter, yet direct observation of the dark matter particles has not been conclusively established. DAMA… Expand
Measurements of neutrons produced by high-energy muons at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
- H. Araújo, J. Blockley, +26 authors J. White
- Physics
- 20 May 2008
We present the first measurements of the muon-induced neutron flux at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. The experiment was carried out with an 0.73 tonne liquid scintillator that also served as an… Expand
