The Stochastic Light Confinement of LiquidO
LiquidO Collaboration, J. Apilluelo, L. Asquith +94
Light-based detectors have been widely used in fundamental research and industry since their inception in the 1930s. The energy particles deposit in these detectors is converted to…
The Double Chooz antineutrino detectors
Double Chooz Collaboration, H. de Kerret, Y. Abe +247
This article describes the setup and performance of the near and far detectors in the Double Chooz experiment. The electron antineutrinos of the Chooz nuclear power plant were meas…
Neutrino Physics with an Opaque Detector
A. Cabrera, A. Abusleme, J. dos Anjos +59
In 1956 Reines & Cowan discovered the neutrino using a liquid scintillator detector. The neutrinos interacted with the scintillator, producing light that propagated across transpar…
Novel event classification based on spectral analysis of scintillation waveforms in Double Chooz
T. Abrahão, H. Almazan, J. C. dos Anjos +94
Liquid scintillators are a common choice for neutrino physics experiments, but their capabilities to perform background rejection by scintillation pulse shape discrimination is gen…
Characterization of the Spontaneous Light Emission of the PMTs used in the Double Chooz Experiment
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, T. Abrahão +146
During the commissioning of the first of the two detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, an unexpected and dominant background caused by the emission of light inside the optical…
Solar neutrino with Borexino: results and perspectives
O. Smirnov, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +87
Borexino is a unique detector able to perform measurement of solar neutrinos fluxes in the energy region around 1 MeV or below due to its low level of radioactive background. It wa…
Ortho-positronium observation in the Double Chooz Experiment
Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos, J. C. Barriere +143
The Double Chooz experiment measures the neutrino mixing angle by detecting reactor via inverse beta decay. The positron-neutron space and time coincidence allow…
Precision Muon Reconstruction in Double Chooz
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos +141
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of liq…
The Waveform Digitiser of the Double Chooz Experiment: Performance and Quantisation Effects on PhotoMultiplier Tube Signals
Y. Abe, T. Akiri, A. Cabrera +12
We present the waveform digitiser used in the Double Chooz experiment. We describe the hardware and the custom-built firmware specifically developed for the experiment. The perform…
Cosmogenic Backgrounds in Borexino at 3800 m water-equivalent depth
G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick +86
The solar neutrino experiment Borexino, which is located in the Gran Sasso underground laboratories, is in a unique position to study muon-induced backgrounds in an organic liquid…
Borexino calibrations: Hardware, Methods, and Results
Borexino collaboration, H. Back, G. Bellini +93
Borexino was the first experiment to detect solar neutrinos in real-time in the sub-MeV region. In order to achieve high precision in the determination of neutrino rates, the detec…
Muon and Cosmogenic Neutron Detection in Borexino
Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +86
Borexino, a liquid scintillator detector at LNGS, is designed for the detection of neutrinos and antineutrinos from the Sun, supernovae, nuclear reactors, and the Earth. The feeble…
