The Solar Neutrino and Astro-Particle PhYsics (SNAPPY) CubeSat Development
Brian M. Sutin, Edward Bierens, Brian Doty +14
The SNAPPY CubeSat, which was launched May 3, 2026, will demonstrate and space qualify the nuSol neutrino-detection technology. The nuSol technology detects solar neutrinos using a…
SNAPPY CubeSat Control Script Generation and Data File Processing
Edward Bierens, Jonathan Folkerts, Brian Doty +2
This is a document discussing the creation and usage of a server system dedicated to retrieving, processing, and storing data generated from the Solar Neutrino and Astro-Particle P…
Gamma Ray Detection Efficiency of GAGG Crystal Scintillator Using Three Tagged Gamma Ray Techniques
Brian Doty, Nickolas Solomey, Jonathan Folkerts +5
A CubeSat with a prototype scintillating detector with a sensitive volume of GAGG crystal is being developed with a possible launch date of 2025. Its purpose is to characterize the…
New methods of neutrino and anti-neutrino detection from 0.115 to 105 MeV
Nickolas Solomey, Mark Christl, Brian Doty +11
We have developed a neutrino detector with threshold energies from ~0.115 to 105 MeV in a clean detection mode almost completely void of accidental backgrounds. It was initially de…
