Development of a low-background HPGe detector at Kamioka Observatory
K. Ichimura, H. Ikeda, Y. Kishimoto +9
A new ultra-low background high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector has been installed at the Kamioka underground experimental site. The background count rate in the energy range from…
A compact ultra-clean system for deploying radioactive sources inside the KamLAND detector
T. I. Banks, S. J. Freedman, J. Wallig +54
We describe a compact, ultra-clean device used to deploy radioactive sources along the vertical axis of the KamLAND liquid-scintillator neutrino detector for purposes of calibratio…
Laboratory Studies on the Removal of Radon-Born Lead from KamLAND's Organic Liquid Scintillator
G. Keefer, C. Grant, A. Piepke +64
The removal of radioactivity from liquid scintillator has been studied in preparation of a low background phase of KamLAND. This paper describes the methods and techniques develope…
CeLAND: search for a 4th light neutrino state with a 3 PBq 144Ce-144Pr electron antineutrino generator in KamLAND
A. Gando, Y. Gando, S. Hayashida +63
The reactor neutrino and gallium anomalies can be tested with a 3-4 PBq (75-100 kCi scale) 144Ce-144Pr antineutrino beta-source deployed at the center or next to a large low-backgr…
The KamLAND Full-Volume Calibration System
The KamLAND Collaboration
We have successfully built and operated a source deployment system for the KamLAND detector. This system was used to position radioactive sources throughout the delicate 1-kton liq…
