Dusel R&D: A Multiplicity Meter for Benchmarking Cosmogenic Neutron Backgrounds for Underground Experiments
The nature of dark matter is one of the most important outstanding issues in particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. A leading hypothesis is that Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, or WIMPs, were produced in the early universe and make up the dark matter. So far this matter has only been observed through its gravitational effects. WIMPs cannot be Standard Model particles and so their d...
متن کاملExperiments at Large Underground Detectors
In this review talk I will very briefly cover a subset of the topics discussed during this very interesting and fruitful Workshop. The topics are: nucleon decay, supermassive monopoles, Neutrino Astrophysics and finally Cosmic Ray physics. This is a partial list. I’ve left out many important topics, where large underground (hereafter shortened to UG) detectors play a major role. In particular I...
متن کاملQ-balls in Underground Experiments
In this paper we present some features of Q-balls and we discuss their interactions with matter, and their energy losses in the Earth, for a large range of velocities. These calculations are used to compute the fractional geometrical acceptance of the MACRO detector. Furthermore a systematic analysis of the energy losses of Q-balls in three types of detectors is investigated. More specifically ...
متن کاملExperiments in autonomous underground guidance
This paper presents the results of an experimental program for evaluating sensors and sensing technologies in an underground mining applications. The objective of the experiments is to infer what combinations of sensors will provide reliable navigation systems for autonomous vehicles operating in a harsh underground environment. Results from a wide range of sensors are presented and analysed. C...
متن کاملRadiation shielding for underground low - background experiments
The design task of creating an efficient radiation shield for the new COBRA double-beta decay experiment led to a comprehensive study of commercially available shielding materials. The aim was to find the most efficient combination of materials under the constraints of an extreme low-background experiment operating in a typical underground laboratory. All existing shield configurations for this...
