Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
Development of low-background photomultiplier tubes for liquid xenon detectors
XMASS Collaboration, K. Abe, Y. Chen +36
We successfully developed a new photomultiplier tube (PMT) with a three-inch diameter, convex-shaped photocathode, R13111. Its prominent features include good performance and ultra…
A measurement of the scintillation decay time constant of nuclear recoils in liquid xenon with the XMASS-I detector
XMASS Collaboration, K. Abe, K. Hiraide +35
We report an in-situ measurement of the nuclear recoil (NR) scintillation decay time constant in liquid xenon (LXe) using the XMASS-I detector at the Kamioka underground laboratory…
A measurement of the time profile of scintillation induced by low energy gamma-rays in liquid xenon with the XMASS-I detector
XMASS Collaboration, H. Takiya, K. Abe +36
We report the measurement of the emission time profile of scintillation from gamma-ray induced events in the XMASS-I 832 kg liquid xenon scintillation detector. Decay time constant…
Detectability of galactic supernova neutrinos coherently scattered on xenon nuclei in XMASS
XMASS Collaboration
The coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) plays a crucial role at the final evolution of stars. The detection of it would be of importance in astroparticle physics.…
Calibration of the Super-Kamiokande Detector
K. Abe, Y. Hayato, T. Iida +130
Procedures and results on hardware level detector calibration in Super-Kamiokande (SK) are presented in this paper. In particular, we report improvements made in our calibration me…
XMASS detector
K. Abe, K. Hieda, K. Hiraide +45
The XMASS project aims to detect dark matter, pp and Be solar neutrinos, and neutrinoless double beta decay using ultra pure liquid xenon. The first phase of the XMASS experi…
