Stawell Undergound Physics Laboratory

Researchers, students and science-lovers across the world now have access to the design of the globally significant SABRE South dark matter experiment in the lead up to its installation in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

Scientists will mark a major milestone in the search for dark matter when they place the first major scientific equipment 1km underground in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL).

A team of international experts will descend on Sydney today to help chart a new direction for dark matter research.

The only deep-underground physics laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere is getting a very cool new toy—a fridge that cools things to temperatures 300 times colder than outer space.

To mark Dark Matter Day 2023, Centre member Ben McAllister, of Swinburne University of Technology and The University of Western Australia, spoke to Raf Epstein on ABC Melbourne.

Scientists have received the first transmissions from a muon detector placed 1km underground in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

A team of scientists involved with the SABRE South dark matter experiment visited the Swinburne University’s Wantirna campus in Melbourne to practice procedures that will later be repeated 1km underground in an active gold mine in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.  

The University of Melbourne released their Annual Report, and we're pleased to announce that The Centre of Dark Matter Particle Physics has made a feature point on its pages.
