Initial Assessment of Second Generation of Large-Area Picosecond Photodetectors with Multi-Channel Systems-on-a-Chip Readout

V. A. Li, O. A. Akindele, M. Bondin +4

We first briefly describe the history and motivation behind Cherenkov and scintillation light detection. We then discuss the instrumentation needed to detect these photons as it ap…

A Neutrino Detector Design for Safeguarding Small Modular Reactors

Emma Houston, Oluwatomi Akindele, Marc Bergevin +3

Nuclear reactors have long been a favored source for antineutrino measurements for estimates of power and burnup. With appropriate detector parameters and background rejection, an…

Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes

O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29

Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…

Exclusion and Verification of Remote Nuclear Reactors with a 1-Kiloton Gd-Doped Water Detector

O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, M. Bergevin +4

To date, antineutrino experiments built for the purpose of demonstrating a nonproliferation capability have typically employed organic scintillators, were situated as close to the…

Improvement in light collection of a photomultiplier tube using a wavelength-shifting plate

Austin Mullen, Oluwatomi Akindele, Marc Bergevin +2

Large-volume water-Cherenkov neutrino detectors are a light-starved environment, as each interaction produces only photons per MeV. As such, maximizing the light coll…

High Energy Physics Opportunities Using Reactor Antineutrinos

O. A. Akindele, J. M. Berryman, N. S. Bowden +14

Nuclear reactors are uniquely powerful, abundant, and flavor-pure sources of antineutrinos that continue to play a vital role in the US neutrino physics program. The US reactor ant…
