Ultra-trace analysis of 40K in organic liquid scintillators
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +64
Rare-event searches require exceptionally low background levels, motivating the development of increasingly sophisticated screening methods to push sensitivity limits. Liquid scint…
Ultra-trace analysis of U and Th in organic liquid scintillators with high sensitivity
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +63
Rare event searches demand extremely low background levels, necessitating ever-advancing screening techniques to enhance sensitivity. Liquid scintillators are highly attractive as…
Fluorescence emission of the JUNO liquid scintillator
M. Beretta, F. Houria, F. Ferraro +65
JUNO is a huge neutrino detector that will use 20 kton of organic liquid scintillator as its detection medium. The scintillator is a mixture of linear alkyl benzene (LAB), 2.5 g/L…
Interpretable machine learning approach for electron antineutrino selection in a large liquid scintillator detector
A. Gavrikov, V. Cerrone, A. Serafini +65
Several neutrino detectors, KamLAND, Daya Bay, Double Chooz, RENO, and the forthcoming large-scale JUNO, rely on liquid scintillator to detect reactor antineutrino interactions. In…
Analysis of reactor burnup simulation uncertainties for antineutrino spectrum prediction
A. Barresi, M. Borghesi, A. Cammi +64
Nuclear reactors are a source of electron antineutrinos due to the presence of unstable fission products that undergo $β^-$ decay. They will be exploited by the JUNO experiment to…
