Performance of a first multi-cell WOM-based liquid scintillator detector as prototype for the SHiP Surrounding Background Tagger
M. Böhles, A. Brignoli, P. Deucher +20
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Experiment was approved by CERN in 2024. Feebly-interacting particles that are produced in a proton Beam Dump Facility (BDF) will decay in th…
Final assessment of radioactive impurities in the JUNO detector
Thomas Adam, Fengpeng An, Costas Andreopoulos +569
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) collaboration has completed the construction of the 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector and the associated muon veto detect…
Development and validation of a forward 0.7--4 MeV quasi-monoenergetic neutron capability at the CN Van de Graaff of LNL
Jeffery Wyss, Pierfrancesco Mastinu, Elizabeth Musacchio González +8
The CN Van de Graaff accelerator of INFN--LNL provides forward-angle quasi-monoenergetic neutrons in the 0.7--4 MeV range via the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction on thin metallic lithium targ…
Doping of a Borexino-like Liquid Scintillator with Tellurium-Diols
Hans Th. J. Steiger, Marco Beretta, Manuel Böhles +8
One promising approach for future neutrinoless double beta decay () searches is the incorporation of candidate isotopes into liquid scintillator detectors. In this work, a sa…
Development, Characterization and Production of a novel Water-based Liquid Scintillator based on the Surfactant TRITON X-100
Hans Th. J. Steiger, Manuel Böhles, Matthias Raphael Stock +7
Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) is a novel detector medium for particle physics experiments. Applications range from the use as hybrid Cherenkov/scintillation target in low-…
Development of a Bi-solvent Liquid Scintillator with Slow Light Emission
Hans Th. J. Steiger, Matthias Raphael Stock, Manuel Böhles +14
One of the most promising approaches for the next generation of neutrino experiments is the realization of large hybrid Cherenkov/scintillation detectors made possible by recent in…
Performance of a First Full-Size WOM-Based Liquid Scintillator Detector Cell as Prototype for the SHiP Surrounding Background Tagger
J. Alt, O. Bezshyyko, M. Böhles +21
As a prototype detector for the SHiP Surrounding Background Tagger (SBT), we constructed a cell (120 cm x 80 cm x 25 cm) made from corten steel that is filled with liquid scintilla…
