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…
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(…
Improved method for measuring low concentration radium and its application to the Super-Kamiokande Gadolinium project
S. Ito, K. Ichimura, Y. Takaku +8
Chemical extraction using a molecular recognition resin named "Empore Radium Rad Disk" was developed to improve sensitivity for the low concentration of radium (Ra). Compared with…
Evaluation of radon adsorption efficiency values in xenon with activated carbon fibers
Y. Nakano, K. Ichimura, H. Ito +5
The radioactive noble gas radon-222 (, or Rn) produced in the uranium series is a crucial background source in many underground experiments. We have estimated th…
Development of a method for measuring rare earth elements in the environment for future experiments with gadolinium loaded detectors
S. Ito, T. Okada, Y. Takaku +7
Demand to use gadolinium (Gd) in detectors is increasing in the field of elementary particle physics, especially neutrino measurements and dark matter searches. Large amounts of Gd…
