RFSoC-based front-end electronics for pulse detection
S. N. Axani, S. Futagi, M. Garcia +12
Radiation measurement relies on pulse detection, which can be performed using various configurations of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and field-programmable gate a…
Letter of Intent: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE)
I. Anghel, J. F. Beacom, M. Bergevin +30
Neutron tagging in Gadolinium-doped water may play a significant role in reducing backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos in next generation proton-decay searches using megaton-scal…
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…
Expression of Interest: The Atmospheric Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE)
I. Anghel, J. F. Beacom, M. Bergevin +22
Neutron tagging in Gadolinium-doped water may play a significant role in reducing backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos in next generation proton-decay searches using megaton-scal…
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…
Optical Properties of Quantum-Dot-Doped Liquid Scintillators
C. Aberle, J. J. Li, S. Weiss +1
Semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots) were studied in the context of liquid scintillator development for upcoming neutrino experiments. The unique optical and chemical propert…
Expression of Interest for a Novel Search for CP Violation in the Neutrino Sector: DAEdALUS
J. Alonso, F. T. Avignone, W. A. Barletta +42
DAEdALUS, a Decay-At-rest Experiment for delta_CP studies At the Laboratory for Underground Science, provides a new approach to the search for CP violation in the neutrino sector.…
A Study of the Fluorescence Response of Tetraphenyl-butadiene
R. Jerry, L. Winslow, L. Bugel +1
Tetraphenyl-butadiene (TPB) is a widely used fluorescent wavelength-shifter. A common application is in liquid-argon-based particle detectors, where scintillation light is produced…
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…
