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…
Neutrino monitoring of explosions for excluding fission yield
O. Benevides Rodrigues, N. S. Bowden, R. Carr +18
Nuclear fission produces neutrinos, so the absence of a neutrino signal can be used to set a limit on the fission content of an explosion. This capability could be employed on form…
New Deep Learning Data Analysis Method for PROSPECT using GAPE: Genetic Algorithm Powered Evolution
M. Adriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Bass +40
We propose a genetic algorithm powered evolution (GAPE) method to create deep learning solutions for energy and position estimation for reactor antineutrino interactions in the Pre…
Towards a Robust Exclusion of the Sterile-Neutrino Explanation of Short-Baseline Anomalies
Ohana Benevides Rodrigues, Matheus Hostert, Kevin J. Kelly +4
The sterile neutrino interpretation of the LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino anomalies is currently being tested at three Liquid Argon detectors: MicroBooNE, SBND, and ICARUS. It has bee…
