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…
Separating Ar from Ar by cryogenic distillation with Aria for dark matter searches
DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, S. Albergo +309
The Aria project consists of a plant, hosting a 350 m cryogenic isotopic distillation column, the tallest ever built, which is currently in the installation phase in a mine shaft a…
SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range
The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312
Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…
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 Electronics, Trigger and Data Acquisition System for the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber of the DarkSide-50 Search for Dark Matter
DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +177
The DarkSide-50 experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso is a search for dark matter using a dual phase time projection chamber with 50 kg of low radioactivity argon a…
The Electronics and Data Acquisition System for the DarkSide-50 Veto Detectors
P. Agnes, L. Agostino, I. F. M. Albuquerque +155
DarkSide-50 is a detector for dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). It utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) for t…
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…
The veto system of the DarkSide-50 experiment
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, L. Agostino +158
Nuclear recoil events produced by neutron scatters form one of the most important classes of background in WIMP direct detection experiments, as they may produce nuclear recoils th…
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…
A compact ultra-clean system for deploying radioactive sources inside the KamLAND detector
T. I. Banks, S. J. Freedman, J. Wallig +54
We describe a compact, ultra-clean device used to deploy radioactive sources along the vertical axis of the KamLAND liquid-scintillator neutrino detector for purposes of calibratio…
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…
Laboratory Studies on the Removal of Radon-Born Lead from KamLAND's Organic Liquid Scintillator
G. Keefer, C. Grant, A. Piepke +64
The removal of radioactivity from liquid scintillator has been studied in preparation of a low background phase of KamLAND. This paper describes the methods and techniques develope…
The KamLAND Full-Volume Calibration System
The KamLAND Collaboration
We have successfully built and operated a source deployment system for the KamLAND detector. This system was used to position radioactive sources throughout the delicate 1-kton liq…
