Ultra-trace analysis of U and Th in organic liquid scintillators with high sensitivity
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +63
Rare event searches demand extremely low background levels, necessitating ever-advancing screening techniques to enhance sensitivity. Liquid scintillators are highly attractive as…
Prospects for geoneutrino detection with JUNO
Thomas Adam, Shakeel Ahmad, Rizwan Ahmed +625
Geoneutrinos, which are antineutrinos emitted during the decay of long-lived radioactive elements inside Earth, serve as a unique tool for studying the composition and heat budget…
An Innovative Photon-Driven Subcritical Reactor Concept Powered by Synchrotron Radiation Source
Antonio Cammi, Lorenzo Loi, Andrea Missaglia +2
This paper introduces the conceptual design of a Photon Driven Reactor (PDR), an innovative subcritical reactor designed for energy generation driven by a synchrotron radiation. Th…
Simulation-based inference for Precision Neutrino Physics through Neural Monte Carlo tuning
A. Gavrikov, A. Serafini, D. Dolzhikov +63
Precise modeling of detector energy response is crucial for next-generation neutrino experiments which present computational challenges due to lack of analytical likelihoods. We pr…
Simulation of the Background from CO Reaction in the JUNO Scintillator
JUNO Collaboration, Thomas Adam, Kai Adamowicz +627
Large-scale organic liquid scintillator detectors are highly efficient in the detection of MeV-scale electron antineutrinos. These signal events can be detected through inverse bet…
Photonuclear treatment for spent fuel radiotoxicity reduction: a case study investigation on minor actinides
Antonio Cammi, Lorenzo Loi, Andrea Missaglia +3
The management of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) is one of the main challenges in the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Thermal reactors, such as Light Water Reactors (LWRs), prod…
