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…
Picosecond laser test unit for photosensor characterization at ambient and low temperatures
Matthias Raphael Stock, Hans Th. J. Steiger, Ulrike Fahrendholz +2
Accurate single photoelectron (SPE) characterization of photosensors is essential for controlling systematic uncertainties in low-light neutrino and dark matter detectors. We prese…
Design, waterproofing, and mass production of the 3-inch PMT frontend system of JUNO
Jilei Xu, Miao He, Cédric Cerna +628
Over 25,600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been instrumented for the central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory. Each PMT is equipped with a high-v…
PALM -- Precision Attenuation Length Measurement in Liquid Scintillators
Vincent Rompel, Sabrina Franke, Florian Kübelbäck +6
Future neutrino experiments at low energies such as JUNO or THEIA will use large volume homogeneous liquid scintillator detectors. The optical attenuation length of the liquid is o…
