Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory: Dark matter detector development

该项目旨在开发对北半球和南半球双探测器实验SABRE至关重要的超灵敏探测器技术。SABRE设备用于直接探测银河系暗物质。暗物质占可观测宇宙的23%，但暗物质存在的证据是间接的。直接探测暗物质将是一项可以与引力波和希格斯玻色子相提并论的发现。该项目是澳大利亚研究继续引领本世纪最重大科学发现的机会，并为澳大利亚科学提供了从生物学到基础物理等多个领域的机会。

This project aims to develop ultra-sensitive detector technology essential for SABRE, a Northern and Southern Hemisphere dual-detector experiment. The SABRE facilities operate to directly detect galactic dark matter. Dark matter makes up 23% of the observable universe but the evidence for its existence is indirect. The direct detection of dark matter would be a discovery on par with gravitational waves and the Higgs boson. This project is an opportunity for Australian research to continue to lead the way in the biggest scientific discoveries of the century and provides opportunities for Australian science in numerous fields ranging from biology to fundamental physics.
