Sensitivity of seismically cued antineutrino detectors to nuclear explosions
Rachel Carr, Ferenc Dalnoki-Veress, Adam Bernstein
We evaluate the sensitivity of large, gadolinium-doped water detectors to antineutrinos released by nuclear fission explosions, using updated signal and background models and takin…
Antineutrino Detectors Remain Impractical for Nuclear Explosion Monitoring
Michael Foxe, Theodore Bowyer, Rachel Carr +2
Fission explosions produce large numbers of antineutrinos. It is occasionally asked whether this distinctive, unshieldable emission could help reveal clandestine nuclear weapon exp…
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe
LBNE Collaboration, Corey Adams, David Adams +482
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for life and whether protons even…
Nu Tools: Exploring Practical Roles for Neutrinos in Nuclear Energy and Security
Oluwatomi Akindele, Nathaniel Bowden, Rachel Carr +11
For decades, physicists have used neutrinos from nuclear reactors to advance basic science. These pursuits have inspired many ideas for application of neutrino detectors in nuclear…
Neutrino-based tools for nuclear verification and diplomacy in North Korea
Rachel Carr, Jonathon Coleman, Mikhail Danilov +17
We present neutrino-based options for verifying that the nuclear reactors at North Korea's Yongbyon Nuclear Research Center are no longer operating or that they are operating in an…
Fabrication of low-cost, large-area prototype Si(Li) detectors for the GAPS experiment
Kerstin Perez, Tsuguo Aramaki, Charles J. Hailey +14
A Si(Li) detector fabrication procedure has been developed with the aim of satisfying the unique requirements of the GAPS (General Antiparticle Spectrometer) experiment. Si(Li) det…
An Indirect Dark Matter Search Using Cosmic-Ray Antiparticles with GAPS
Alexander Lowell, Tsuguo Aramaki, Ralph Bird +30
Experiments aiming to directly detect dark matter (DM) particles have yet to make robust detections, thus underscoring the need for complementary approaches such as searches for ne…
