Optical Scattering Lengths in Large Liquid-Scintillator Neutrino Detectors
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +12
For liquid-scintillator neutrino detectors of kiloton scale, the transparency of the organic solvent is of central importance. The present paper reports on laboratory measurements…
Measurements of the Lifetime of Orthopositronium in the LAB-Based Liquid Scintillator of JUNO
Mario Schwarz, Sabrina M. Franke, Lothar Oberauer +3
Electron antineutrinos are detected in organic liquid scintillator based neutrino experiments by means of the inverse beta decay, producing both a positron and a neutron. The posit…
Detecting the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background with LENA
Randolph Möllenberg, Franz von Feilitzsch, Dominikus Hellgartner +5
LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next generation 50 kt liquid scintillator detector. Its large target mass allows to search for the Diffuse Supernova Neu…
The next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, John F. Beacom, Leonid B. Bezrukov +74
We propose the liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) as a next-generation neutrino observatory on the scale of 50 kt. The outstanding successes of the B…
Search for modulations of the solar Be-7 flux in the next-generation neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, Barbara Caccianiga, Davide D'Angelo +16
A next-generation liquid-scintillator detector will be able to perform high-statistics measurements of the solar neutrino flux. In LENA, solar Be-7 neutrinos are expected to cause…
Emergence of superconductivity in the canonical heavy-electron metal YbRh2Si2
Erwin Schuberth, Marc Tippmann, Lucia Steinke +8
We report magnetic and calorimetric measurements down to T = 1 mK on the canonical heavy-electron metal YbRh2Si2. The data reveal the development of nuclear antiferromagnetic order…
Detecting the Upturn of the Solar B Neutrino Spectrum with LENA
Randolph Möllenberg, Franz von Feilitzsch, Dominikus Hellgartner +5
LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next generation 50 kt liquid scintillator detector. The large target mass allows a high precision measurement of the sol…
Spectroscopy of Solar Neutrinos
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +9
In the last years, liquid-scintillator detectors have opened a new window for the observation of low-energetic astrophysical neutrino sources. In 2007, the solar neutrino experimen…
The Physics Potential of the LENA Detector
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +9
The large-volume liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next-generation experiment for low-energy neutrinos. High-precision spectr…
