Directional Fast Neutron Detection Using a Time Projection Chamber
N. S. Bowden, M. Heffner, G. Carosi +5
Measurement of the three dimensional trajectory and specific ionization of recoil protons using a hydrogen gas time projection chamber provides directional information about incide…
Coherent Scattering Investigations at the Spallation Neutron Source: a Snowmass White Paper
D. Akimov, A. Bernstein, P. Barbeau +54
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, provides an intense flux of neutrinos in the few tens-of-MeV range, with a sharply-pulsed timing st…
First measurement of the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in liquid argon
T. H. Joshi, S. Sangiorgio, A. Bernstein +9
This Letter details a measurement of the ionization yield () of 6.7 keV atoms stopping in a liquid argon detector. The of 3.6-6.3 detected $e^{-}/\mbox{keV}$,…
First demonstration of a sub-keV electron recoil energy threshold in a liquid argon ionization chamber
S. Sangiorgio, T. H. Joshi, A. Bernstein +9
We describe the first demonstration of a sub-keV electron recoil energy threshold in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber. This is an important step in an effort to de…
Neutrino monitoring of explosions for excluding fission yield
O. Benevides Rodrigues, N. S. Bowden, R. Carr +18
Nuclear fission produces neutrinos, so the absence of a neutrino signal can be used to set a limit on the fission content of an explosion. This capability could be employed on form…
Design and demonstration of a quasi-monoenergetic neutron source
T. H. Joshi, S. Sangiorgio, V. Mozin +5
The design of a neutron source capable of producing 24 and 70 keV neutron beams with narrow energy spread is presented. The source exploits near-threshold kinematics of the L…
