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…
PocketWATCH: Design and operation of a multi-use test bed for water Cherenkov detector components in pure and gadolinium loaded water
Matthew Thiesse, Stephen T. Wilson, Jack Fannon +4
The PocketWATCH facility is a unique multi-purpose test bed designed to replicate the conditions of large water Cherenkov detectors. Housed at the University of Sheffield, the faci…
Ultra-Low Background Germanium Assay at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
P. R. Scovell, E. Meehan, S. M. Paling +6
As we move to an era where next generation low-background particle physics experiments begin to be designed and constructed, the ability to assay materials with high sensitivity an…
Development of Ultra-pure Gadolinium Sulfate for the Super-Kamiokande Gadolinium Project
K. Hosokawa, M. Ikeda, T. Okada +20
This paper reports the development and detailed properties of about 13 tons of gadolinium sulfate octahydrate, , which has been dissolved into…
Background Shielding by Dense Samples in Low-Level Gamma Spectrometry
M. Thiesse, P. Scovell, L. Thompson
In low activity gamma spectrometric measurements of large, dense samples, the bulk sample material shields the HPGe crystal from external background sources. If not accounted for i…
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(…
The Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment -- Snowmass LOI
Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, P. Adrich +387
Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation underground water Cherenkov detector that builds on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment. The detector which has an 8.4~times l…
Design and performance of a 35-ton liquid argon time projection chamber as a prototype for future very large detectors
D. L. Adams, M. Baird, G. Barr +71
Liquid argon time projection chamber technology is an attractive choice for large neutrino detectors, as it provides a high-resolution active target and it is expected to be scalab…
Evaluation of Gadolinium's Action on Water Cherenkov Detector Systems with EGADS
Ll. Marti, M. Ikeda, Y. Kato +65
Used for both proton decay searches and neutrino physics, large water Cherenkov (WC) detectors have been very successful tools in particle physics. They are notable for their large…
Hyper-Kamiokande Design Report
Hyper-Kamiokande Proto-Collaboration, :, K. Abe +313
On the strength of a double Nobel prize winning experiment (Super)Kamiokande and an extremely successful long baseline neutrino programme, the third generation Water Cherenkov dete…
Photon detector system timing performance in the DUNE 35-ton prototype liquid argon time projection chamber
D. L. Adams, T. Alion, J. T. Anderson +75
The 35-ton prototype for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment far detector was a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber with an integrated photon detector system, al…
Cryogenic CMOS Cameras for High Voltage Monitoring in Liquid Argon
Nicola McConkey, Neil Spooner, Matthew Thiesse +2
The prevalent use of large volume liquid argon detectors strongly motivates the development of novel readout and monitoring technology which functions at cryogenic temperatures. Th…
A Proposal for a Three Detector Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Program in the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam
R. Acciarri, C. Adams, R. An +221
A Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) physics program of three LAr-TPC detectors located along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab is presented. This new SBN Program will deliver…
