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…
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…
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.…
Final Search for Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR
M. Andriamirado, B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +44
The PROSPECT experiment is designed to perform precise searches for antineutrino disappearance at short distances (7 - 9~m) from compact nuclear reactor cores. This Letter reports…
Machine Learning for Single-Ended Event Reconstruction in PROSPECT Experiment
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, was a segmented antineutrino detector that successfully operated at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in Oak Ridge,…
