Measurement of Muon-induced High-energy Neutrons from Rock in an Underground Gd-doped Water Detector
F. Sutanto, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +9
We present a measurement of the rate of correlated neutron captures in the WATCHBOY detector, deployed at a depth of approximately 390 meters water equivalent (m.w.e.) in the Kimba…
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…
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…
