Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
Gadolinium concentration measurement with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer
Lluis Marti-Magro, Luis Labarga
Because gadolinium (Gd) has the highest thermal neutron capture cross section, resulting in an 8 MeV gamma cascade upon capture, it has been proposed for dissolution in water Chere…
NEXT-CRAB-0: A High Pressure Gaseous Xenon Time Projection Chamber with a Direct VUV Camera Based Readout
NEXT Collaboration, N. K. Byrnes, I. Parmaksiz +116
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay () remains one of the most compelling experimental avenues for the discovery in the neutrino sector. Electroluminescent gas-phas…
A Compact Dication Source for Ba Tagging and Heavy Metal Ion Sensor Development
K. E. Navarro, B. J. P. Jones, J. Baeza-Rubio +107
We present a tunable metal ion beam that delivers controllable ion currents in the picoamp range for testing of dry-phase ion sensors. Ion beams are formed by sequential atomic eva…
Reflectance and fluorescence characteristics of PTFE coated with TPB at visible, UV, and VUV as a function of thickness
J. Haefner, A. Fahs, J. Ho +100
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. In noble element systems, it is often coa…
Development of Ultra-pure Gadolinium Sulfate for the Super-Kamiokande Gadolinium Project
K. Hosokawa, M. Ikeda, T. Okada +20
This paper reports the development and detailed properties of about 13 tons of gadolinium sulfate octahydrate, , which has been dissolved into…
