Construction of the SABRE South full-scale dark matter detector

This project completes the construction and underground installation of the SABRE South dark matter detector foroperation in 2025. The nature of dark matter, a mysterious substance making up the majority of the of theuniverse's matter, is one of science greatest mysteries. Its discovery would be groundbreaking. SABRE South islocated in the Southern Hemisphere's pioneering Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL). With its worldbest ultra-high purity crystal target and strategic location, it is uniquely positioned to test the most persistent andenigmatic signal in the worldwide hunt for dark matter, with discovery potential across a range of dark mattermodels. Aspects of this project will benefit future research projects in SUPL.
