A compact ultra-clean system for deploying radioactive sources inside the KamLAND detector
T. I. Banks, S. J. Freedman, J. Wallig +54
We describe a compact, ultra-clean device used to deploy radioactive sources along the vertical axis of the KamLAND liquid-scintillator neutrino detector for purposes of calibratio…
Laboratory Studies on the Removal of Radon-Born Lead from KamLAND's Organic Liquid Scintillator
G. Keefer, C. Grant, A. Piepke +64
The removal of radioactivity from liquid scintillator has been studied in preparation of a low background phase of KamLAND. This paper describes the methods and techniques develope…
Large-scale Gadolinium-doped Water Cerenkov Detector for Non-Proliferation
M. Sweany, A. Bernstein, N. S. Bowden +4
Fission events from Special Nuclear Material (SNM), such as highly enriched uranium or plutonium, can produce simultaneous emission of multiple neutrons and high energy gamma-rays.…
Laboratory Studies of Lead Removal from Liquid Scintillator in Preparation for KamLAND's Low Background Phase
Gregory Keefer
The removal of Radon induced Lead from liquid scintillator was extensively studied in preparation for KamLAND's low background phase. This work presents the results from laboratory…
The KamLAND Full-Volume Calibration System
The KamLAND Collaboration
We have successfully built and operated a source deployment system for the KamLAND detector. This system was used to position radioactive sources throughout the delicate 1-kton liq…
Systematic study of trace radioactive impurities in candidate construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, P. Grinberg, P. Weber +54
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) will search for double beta decays of 136Xe. We report the results of a systematic study of trace concentrations of radioactive impurities in a…
