  • Xenon 1T and Xenon nT have not published their results below 1 keV; thus it is not possible to make a guess because the detector and background levels below 1 keV.

  • SABRE North can be taken into account to increase the mass in the model but they probably don't have an updated background model and this will lead to delays paper.

  • Verify the final mass of Cosine (106 kg vs approx. 60 kg).

Multiply Interacting Dark Matter

Done to date: Assessment of potential sensitivity is outlined here: Multiply-interacting Dark Matter .

Assessment of relevance: Owing to our large veto we may set competitive limits for a MIDM search, depending on the liquid scintillator light yield (veto threshold) and the veto PMT dark count rate.

To do/open questions:

  • Measurements of the dark count rate in the veto PMTs are due by November 2022 – these will permit better estimates of the background rates for a MIDM search.

  • MIDM requires a challenging trigger condition, which the SABRE trigger may or may not be able to continuously accommodate. The trigger condition is noted in our plans here: /wiki/spaces/SABRE/pages/1489829889

  • Simulations of MIDM ‘tracks’ in the veto. If the optical photon propagation time << MIDM crossing time then we can probably get away with using a Geant4-produced map of the photon detection efficiency in the veto. These simulations may help refine what a signal event looks like (beyond N-fold coincidence of veto PMTs within veto crossing time), and could be used to define more detailed limit calculations.
