Photonuclear Neutron Production in OpenMC: Verification Against MCNPX, FLUKA, and a First-Collision Analytical Solution
Lorenzo Loi, Andrea Missaglia, Carolina Introini +4
The modeling of photonuclear reactions is increasingly important for applications involving high-energy photon fields, including accelerator-driven neutron sources, radiation shiel…
Physics-Guided Spectral Parametric Reduced-Order Modeling for Transient Prediction of Controlled Dynamical Systems
Ao Zhang, Tian Zhang, Antonio Cammi +1
Efficient parametric transient prediction at unseen parameter values and under new operating conditions remains challenging because repeated high-fidelity simulations are computati…
Final assessment of radioactive impurities in the JUNO detector
Thomas Adam, Fengpeng An, Costas Andreopoulos +569
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) collaboration has completed the construction of the 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector and the associated muon veto detect…
A Low-energy Threshold and Multi-messenger Trigger System for the JUNO Experiment
Thomas Adam, Fengpeng An, Costas Andreopoulos +563
The paper presents a new multi‑messenger trigger system for the JUNO liquid‑scintillator detector that lowers the energy threshold to about 110 keV and adds real‑time monitoring of…
Ultra-trace analysis of 40K in organic liquid scintillators
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +64
Rare-event searches require exceptionally low background levels, motivating the development of increasingly sophisticated screening methods to push sensitivity limits. Liquid scint…
Embedded underwater front-end electronics for the 3-inch photomultipliers in the JUNO experiment
Cédric Cerna, Miao He, Xiaoshan Jiang +591
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kton liquid scintillator-based, low-radioactivity, multi-purpose neutrino detector located 693 meters (1800 m.w.e.) und…
