Directionally Accelerated Detection of an Unknown Second Reactor with Antineutrinos for Mid-Field Nonproliferation Monitoring
D. L. Danielson, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +67
When monitoring a reactor site for nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the presence of an unknown or hidden nuclear reactor could be obscured by the activities of a known reactor of…
Low Background Gamma Spectroscopy at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
P. R. Scovell, E. Meehan, H. M. Araújo +12
The Boulby Underground Germanium Suite (BUGS) comprises three low background, high-purity germanium detectors operating in the Boulby Underground Laboratory, located 1.1 km undergr…
Design and development of optical modules for the BUTTON-30 detector
D. S. Bhattacharya, J. Bae, M. Bergevin +63
BUTTON-30 is a neutrino detector demonstrator located in the STFC Boulby underground facility in the north-east of England. The main goal of the project is to deploy and test the p…
The BUTTON-30 detector at Boulby
J. Bae, M. Bergevin, E. P. Bernard +62
The BUTTON-30 detector is a 30-tonne technology demonstrator designed to evaluate the potential of hybrid event detection, simultaneously exploiting both Cherenkov and scintillatio…
Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Improved Sensitivity of the DRIFT-IId Directional Dark Matter Experiment using Machine Learning
J. B. R. Battat, C. Eldridge, A. C. Ezeribe +18
We demonstrate a new type of analysis for the DRIFT-IId directional dark matter detector using a machine learning algorithm called a Random Forest Classifier. The analysis labels e…
