Performance evaluation of Luxium Solutions BCF-XL wavelength-shifting fibers
Tatsuki Yamazumi, Yota Endo, Shoma Kodama +4
We evaluate the performance of single-clad wavelength-shifting fibers newly developed by Luxium Solutions, BCF-92XL, BCF-9929AXL, and BCF-9995XL and compare them with the multi-cla…
Development of a data overflow protection system for Super-Kamiokande to maximize data from nearby supernovae
M. Mori, K. Abe, Y. Hayato +252
Neutrinos from very nearby supernovae, such as Betelgeuse, are expected to generate more than ten million events over 10\,s in Super-Kamokande (SK). At such large event rates, the…
Performance of new Kuraray wavelength-shifting fibers with short decay time
Shoma Kodama, Hokuto Kobayashi, Wataru Okinaga +3
We measure the decay time and the attenuation length of newly developed wavelength-shifting fibers, YS series from Kuraray, which have fast response. Using a 405 nm laser, the deca…
Search for Periodic Time Variations of the Solar B Neutrino Flux between 1996 and 2018 in Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +233
We report a search for time variations of the solar B neutrino flux using 5804 live days of Super-Kamiokande data collected between May 31, 1996, and May 30, 2018. Super-Kamiok…
