Breakthrough: Deep Underground Transmissions Reveal Dark Matter Secrets
Scientists have received the first transmissions from a muon detector placed 1 km underground in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory. The detector records cosmic radiation levels to ensure a pristine environment for the upcoming SABRE South experiment, which aims to detect dark matter particles. The initial data showed significantly lower levels of radiation underground compared to above ground, marking an exciting milestone for the project. The muon detector will continue to monitor radiation levels as preparations are made for the SABRE South experiment.
