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…
Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a prolific muon producer, making it an ideal location for studying dark sector particles produced in…
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…
A prototype reactor-antineutrino detector based on Li-doped pulse-shaping-discriminating plastic scintillator
O. Benevides Rodrigues, E. P. Bernard, N. S. Bowden +26
An aboveground 60-kg reactor-antineutrino detector prototype, comprised of a 2-dimensional array of 36 Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator bars, is described.…
