A Neutrino Detector Design for Safeguarding Small Modular Reactors
Emma Houston, Oluwatomi Akindele, Marc Bergevin +3
Nuclear reactors have long been a favored source for antineutrino measurements for estimates of power and burnup. With appropriate detector parameters and background rejection, an…
Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Exclusion and Verification of Remote Nuclear Reactors with a 1-Kiloton Gd-Doped Water Detector
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, M. Bergevin +4
To date, antineutrino experiments built for the purpose of demonstrating a nonproliferation capability have typically employed organic scintillators, were situated as close to the…
Improvement in light collection of a photomultiplier tube using a wavelength-shifting plate
Austin Mullen, Oluwatomi Akindele, Marc Bergevin +2
Large-volume water-Cherenkov neutrino detectors are a light-starved environment, as each interaction produces only photons per MeV. As such, maximizing the light coll…
Scalability of gadolinium-doped-water Cherenkov detectors for nuclear nonproliferation
Viacheslav A. Li, Steven A. Dazeley, Marc Bergevin +1
Antineutrinos are an unavoidable byproduct of the fission process. The kiloton-scale KamLAND experiment has demonstrated the capability to detect reactor antineutrinos at few-hundr…
Pulse-shape discrimination in water-based scintillators
Michael J. Ford, Natalia P. Zaitseva, M. Leslie Carman +4
This work describes a class of liquid scintillators that contain mostly water (>50 wt. % of the entire composition) and can discriminate between interactions induced by neutrons an…
