arXiv:1906.01944 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2019.163314
Abstract
In this study, simulation-based design and optimization studies of a gadolinium loaded segmented plastic scintillator detector are presented for monitoring applications of nuclear reactors in Turkey using antineutrinos. For the first time in the literature, a multivariate analysis technique is introduced to suppress cosmic background for such a reactor antineutrino detector.
