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…
First Gadolinium Loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +212
In order to improve Super-Kamiokande's neutron detection efficiency and to thereby increase its sensitivity to the diffuse supernova neutrino background flux, 13 tons of $\rm Gd_2(…
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 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…
CeLAND: search for a 4th light neutrino state with a 3 PBq 144Ce-144Pr electron antineutrino generator in KamLAND
A. Gando, Y. Gando, S. Hayashida +63
The reactor neutrino and gallium anomalies can be tested with a 3-4 PBq (75-100 kCi scale) 144Ce-144Pr antineutrino beta-source deployed at the center or next to a large low-backgr…
