Response of wavelength-shifting and scintillating-wavelength-shifting fibers to ionizing radiation
W. Bae, J. Cesar, K. Chen +23
We report results of characterizing the response and light transport of wavelength-shifting (WLS) and scintillating-wavelength-shifting (Sci-WLS) fibers under irradiation by radioa…
Optical characterization of wavelength-shifting and scintillating-wavelength-shifting fibers
W. Bae, J. Cesar, K. Chen +23
We report results of optical characterizations of new wavelength-shifting and scintillating-wavelength-shifting fibers EJ-182 and EJ-160 from Eljen Technology and compare them to t…
Fabrication of thin planar radiopure foils with 82Se for the SuperNEMO Demonstrator
X. Aguerre, A. Barabash, A. Basharina-Freshville +72
The SuperNEMO Demonstrator, designed to search for double beta decay using enriched 82Se, has been assembled in the Modane Underground Laboratory under the French Alps. Thin foils…
Calorimeter commissioning of the SuperNEMO Demonstrator
X. Aguerre, A. Barabash, A. Basharina-Freshville +77
The SuperNEMO experiment is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of \textsuperscript{82}Se, with the unique combination of a tracking detector and a segmented calorimeter.…
The Impact of Helium Exposure on the PMTs of the SuperNEMO Experiment
SuperNEMO Collaboration, X. Aguerre, A. S. Barabash +76
The performance of Hamamatsu 8" photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of the type used in the SuperNEMO neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment (R5912-MOD), is investigated as a function…
