The Double Chooz antineutrino detectors
Double Chooz Collaboration, H. de Kerret, Y. Abe +247
This article describes the setup and performance of the near and far detectors in the Double Chooz experiment. The electron antineutrinos of the Chooz nuclear power plant were meas…
Novel event classification based on spectral analysis of scintillation waveforms in Double Chooz
T. Abrahão, H. Almazan, J. C. dos Anjos +94
Liquid scintillators are a common choice for neutrino physics experiments, but their capabilities to perform background rejection by scintillation pulse shape discrimination is gen…
The Monte Carlo simulation of the Borexino detector
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +97
We describe the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation package of the Borexino detector and discuss the agreement of its output with data. The Borexino MC 'ab initio' simulates the energy los…
Characterization of the Spontaneous Light Emission of the PMTs used in the Double Chooz Experiment
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, T. Abrahão +146
During the commissioning of the first of the two detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, an unexpected and dominant background caused by the emission of light inside the optical…
Ortho-positronium observation in the Double Chooz Experiment
Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos, J. C. Barriere +143
The Double Chooz experiment measures the neutrino mixing angle by detecting reactor via inverse beta decay. The positron-neutron space and time coincidence allow…
Precision Muon Reconstruction in Double Chooz
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos +141
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of liq…
