Advanced detector development for rare event particle physics
Experimental, simulation, and data analysis projects are available to help develop advanced detection technology which will form the basis of a future large particle physics experiment in Australia

Simulating cosmic-ray interactions with materials for dark matter and commercial applications
This project uses Geant4 simulations to investigate how naturally occurring cosmic rays interact with materials relevant to physics and environmental research, including NaI(Tl) crystals, gaseous detectors, and soil.
Radon control in directional dark matter detectors
Directional dark matter searches provide a way to probe beyond the irreducible ‘neutrino fog’ that limits traditional dark matter experiments. CYGNUS-OZ is part of the global directional dark matter effort, and this project focuses on the critical challenge of radon control in these detectors.

Ultra-sensitive radon detection for rare-event physics experiments
Radioactivity from radon is a leading background for dark matter and other rare-event physics experiments. Developing ultra-sensitive radon detection is crucial to improve discovery potential and enable the next generation of breakthroughs in fundamental physics.
