Background stability and annual modulation test using PICOLON ultra-pure NaI(Tl) detector
PICOLON Collaboration, K. Kotera, D. Chernyak +20
The dark matter observation claimed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has been a long-standing puzzle within the particle physics community. NaI(Tl) crystals with radiopurity comparable…
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…
Radiopurity of NaI(Tl) crystals for PICOLON dark matter experiment
K. Kotera, D. Chernyak, H. Ejiri +19
The dark matter observation claim by the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has been a long-standing puzzle within the particle physics community. Efforts of other research groups to verify…
First Gadolinium Loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +212
In order to improve Super-Kamiokande's neutron detection efficiency and to thereby increase its sensitivity to the diffuse supernova neutrino background flux, 13 tons of $\rm Gd_2(…
Dark matter search with high purity NaI(Tl) scintillator
K. Fushimi, Y. Kanemitsu, K. Kotera +21
A dark matter search project needs and extremely low background radiation detector since the expected event rate of dark matter is less than a few events in one year in one tonne o…
The nylon balloon for xenon loaded liquid scintillator in KamLAND-Zen 800 neutrinoless double-beta decay search experiment
Zen collaboration, Y. Gando, A. Gando +70
The KamLAND-Zen 800 experiment is searching for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe by using Xe-loaded liquid scintillator. The liquid scintillator is enclosed…
Development of highly radiopure NaI(Tl) scintillator for PICOLON dark matter search project
K. Fushimi, Y. Kanemitsu, S. Hirata +20
The highly radiopure NaI(Tl) was developed to search for particle candidates of dark matter. The optimized methods were combined to reduce various radioactive impurities. The $^{40…
The Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment -- Snowmass LOI
Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, P. Adrich +387
Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation underground water Cherenkov detector that builds on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment. The detector which has an 8.4~times l…
A study on energy resolution of CANDLES detector
B. T. Khai, S. Ajimura, W. M. Chan +20
In a neutrinoless double-beta decay () experiment, energy resolution is important to distinguish between and background events. CAlcium fluoride for studies of Neutrin…
The energy calibration system for CANDLES using (n, γ) reaction
