Gamma Backgrounds for Experiments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Baldenegro +53
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial d…
A high precision calibration of the nonlinear energy response at Daya Bay
Daya Bay collaboration, D. Adey, F. P. An +192
A high precision calibration of the nonlinearity in the energy response of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment's antineutrino detectors is presented in detail. The energy nonl…
Design, construction, and operation of a 1-ton Water-based Liquid scintillator detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory
X. Xiang, G. Yang, S. Andrade +20
Water-based liquid scintillators (WbLS) are attractive neutrino detector materials because they allow us to tune the ratio of the Cherenkov and scintillation signals. Using WbLS la…
Limits on Sub-GeV Dark Matter from the PROSPECT Reactor Antineutrino Experiment
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, H. R. Band +55
If dark matter has mass lower than around 1 GeV, it will not impart enough energy to cause detectable nuclear recoils in many direct-detection experiments. However, if dark matter…
Search for a Light Sterile Neutrino at Daya Bay
F. P. An, A. B. Balantekin, H. R. Band +230
A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay Reactor Antineutrino Experiment. The experiment's unique configuration of…
The PROSPECT Physics Program
J. Ashenfelter, B. Balantekin, H. R. Band +61
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, is designed to make a precise measurement of the antineutrino spectrum from a highly-enriched uranium reactor a…
