Final assessment of radioactive impurities in the JUNO detector
Thomas Adam, Fengpeng An, Costas Andreopoulos +569
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) collaboration has completed the construction of the 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector and the associated muon veto detect…
A Low-energy Threshold and Multi-messenger Trigger System for the JUNO Experiment
Thomas Adam, Fengpeng An, Costas Andreopoulos +563
The paper presents a new multi‑messenger trigger system for the JUNO liquid‑scintillator detector that lowers the energy threshold to about 110 keV and adds real‑time monitoring of…
Embedded underwater front-end electronics for the 3-inch photomultipliers in the JUNO experiment
Cédric Cerna, Miao He, Xiaoshan Jiang +591
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kton liquid scintillator-based, low-radioactivity, multi-purpose neutrino detector located 693 meters (1800 m.w.e.) und…
Performance Characterization of a Plastic-Scintillator Sensor for Fast-Neutron, Thermal-Neutron, and Gamma-Ray Discrimination
Yuhang Liu, Fengpeng An, Guang Luo +4
Discrimination of fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and rays in mixed radiation fields is important for radiation monitoring, reactor-related measurements, and background suppr…
Performance and pulse shape discrimination of glass scintillator SG101 for neutron detection
Yuhang Liu, Fengpeng An, Guang Luo +5
We present a detailed characterization of the thermal neutron sensitive transparent glass scintillator SG101, benchmarked against the conventional LiF ZnS(Ag)based scintillator EJ4…
Design, waterproofing, and mass production of the 3-inch PMT frontend system of JUNO
Jilei Xu, Miao He, Cédric Cerna +628
Over 25,600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been instrumented for the central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory. Each PMT is equipped with a high-v…
