Activation measurement of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section at low energy
D. Bemmerer, F. Confortola, H. Costantini +27
The nuclear physics input from the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section is a major uncertainty in the fluxes of 7Be and 8B neutrinos from the Sun predicted by solar models and in the…
Measurement of the B Solar Neutrino Flux Using the Full SNO+ Water Phase Dataset
SNO+ Collaboration, :, A. Allega +109
The SNO+ detector operated initially as a water Cherenkov detector. The implementation of a sealed covergas system midway through water data taking resulted in a significant reduct…
Theia: An advanced optical neutrino detector
M. Askins, Z. Bagdasarian, N. Barros +75
New developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic photon sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector th…
Limits on Low Energy Photon-Photon Scattering from an Experiment on Magnetic Vacuum Birefringence
M. Bregant, G. Cantatore, S. Carusotto +12
Experimental bounds on induced vacuum magnetic birefringence can be used to improve present photon-photon scattering limits in the electronvolt energy range. Measurements with the…
3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section at low energies
Gy. Gyurky, F. Confortola, H. Costantini +27
The flux of 7Be and 8B neutrinos from the Sun and the production of 7Li via primordial nucleosynthesis depend on the rate of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be reaction. In extension of a pre…
Cosmogenic Neutron Production in Water at SNO+
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. Abreu +112
Accurate measurement of the cosmogenic muon-induced neutron yield is crucial for constraining a significant background in a wide range of low-energy physics searches. Although prev…
