Design and development of optical modules for the BUTTON-30 detector
D. S. Bhattacharya, J. Bae, M. Bergevin +63
BUTTON-30 is a neutrino detector demonstrator located in the STFC Boulby underground facility in the north-east of England. The main goal of the project is to deploy and test the p…
The BUTTON-30 detector at Boulby
J. Bae, M. Bergevin, E. P. Bernard +62
The BUTTON-30 detector is a 30-tonne technology demonstrator designed to evaluate the potential of hybrid event detection, simultaneously exploiting both Cherenkov and scintillatio…
Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
PocketWATCH: Design and operation of a multi-use test bed for water Cherenkov detector components in pure and gadolinium loaded water
Matthew Thiesse, Stephen T. Wilson, Jack Fannon +4
The PocketWATCH facility is a unique multi-purpose test bed designed to replicate the conditions of large water Cherenkov detectors. Housed at the University of Sheffield, the faci…
Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Characterisation of the Temperature-dependent Dark Rate of Hamamatsu R7081-100 10" Photomultiplier Tubes
Steve T. Wilson, Samuel Fargher, Robert J. Foster +4
Dark noise is a dominant background in photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), which are commonly used in liquid-filled particle detectors for single-photon detection to see the results of p…
