Deep-Ocean Application-Specific Neutrino Experiment
Takumi Araki, Simran Chauhan, Lyla Choi +17
This report introduces the concept, prototype design, projected costs, and scientific goals of a mobile experiment for detecting geoneutrinos originating from uranium and thorium d…
Enhancing Angular Sensitivity of Segmented Antineutrino Detectors for Reactor Monitoring
Brian C. Crow, Max A. A. Dornfest, John G. Learned +4
We present a potential improvement over the standard method developed to determine antineutrino directionality in inverse-beta-decay detectors. The previously developed method for…
Towards imaging Earth's large-scale structures by directional geoneutrino detection with Ocean Bottom Detector
Zhihao Xu, Takumi Araki, Simran Chauhan +17
Geoneutrinos, electron antineutrinos produced by radioactive decays of heat-producing elements (HPEs) within the Earth, provide unique insights into Earth's interior and heat budge…
Joint Diagnostics of Circumsolar Sky Brightness Using Coronagraphic Measurements and Aerosol Optical Inversions at Mauna Loa
Thomas A. Schad, Paul Bryans, Andre Fehlmann +5
Atmospheric aerosols strongly influence daytime sky quality for solar coronal imaging, yet few studies directly link aerosol properties and sky-brightness measurements within ~2°…
Algorithm to extract direction in 2D discrete distributions and a continuous Frobenius norm
Jeffrey G. Yepez, Jackson D. Seligman, Max A. A. Dornfest +3
In this study, we present a novel algorithm for determining directionality in 2D distributions of discrete data. We compare a reference dataset with a known direction to a measured…
