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…
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…
Initial Assessment of Second Generation of Large-Area Picosecond Photodetectors with Multi-Channel Systems-on-a-Chip Readout
V. A. Li, O. A. Akindele, M. Bondin +4
We first briefly describe the history and motivation behind Cherenkov and scintillation light detection. We then discuss the instrumentation needed to detect these photons as it ap…
A prototype reactor-antineutrino detector based on Li-doped pulse-shaping-discriminating plastic scintillator
O. Benevides Rodrigues, E. P. Bernard, N. S. Bowden +26
An aboveground 60-kg reactor-antineutrino detector prototype, comprised of a 2-dimensional array of 36 Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator bars, is described.…
