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…
