Gamma Backgrounds for Experiments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Baldenegro +53
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial d…
Optical properties of low background PEN structural components for the LEGEND-200 experiment
L. Manzanillas, Y. Efremenko, M. Febbraro +6
Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) plastic scintillator has been identified as potential self-vetoing structural material in low-background physics experiments. Scintillating component…
Light Response of Poly(ethylene 2,6-napthalate) to Neutrons
Brennan Hackett, Richard deBoer, Yuri Efremenko +21
There is increasing necessity for low background active materials as ton-scale, rare-event and cryogenic detectors are developed. Poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) has been cons…
Production and validation of scintillating structural components from low-background Poly(ethylene naphthalate)
Y. Efremenko, M. Febbraro, F. Fischer +28
Poly Ethylene Naphthalate (PEN) is an industrial polymer plastic which is investigated as a low background, transparent, scintillating and wavelength shifting structural material.…
Wavelength-Shifting Performance of Polyethylene Naphthalate Films in a Liquid Argon Environment
Y. Abraham, J. Asaadi, V. Basque +9
Liquid argon is commonly used as a detector medium for neutrino physics and dark matter experiments in part due to its copious scintillation light production in response to its exc…
Usage of PEN as self-vetoing structural material in low background experiments
I. Abt, Y. Efremenko, M. Febbraro +22
PEN is an industrial polyester plastic which has become interesting for the physics community as a new type of plastic scintillator. PEN scintillates in the blue regime, which is i…
