The Eos detector: a demonstrator of hybrid optical detection technology
Eos Collaboration, S. Arora, M. Askins +64
Eos is an R&D testbed for hybrid detector technologies, featuring state-of-the-art sub-ns photosensors, the first implementation of dichroicons in a large-scale demonstrator, and t…
Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Optical calibration of the SNO+ detector in the water phase with deployed sources
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +120
SNO+ is a large-scale liquid scintillator experiment with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay, and is located approximately 2 km underground in SNOLAB,…
The SNO+ Experiment
SNO+ Collaboration, :, V. Albanese +251
The SNO+ experiment is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. A low background search for neutrinoless double beta () decay will be conducted using 780 tonnes…
Development, characterisation, and deployment of the SNO+ liquid scintillator
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +223
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is…
Measurement of neutron-proton capture in the SNO+ water phase
The SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +130
The SNO+ experiment collected data as a low-threshold water Cherenkov detector from September 2017 to July 2019. Measurements of the 2.2-MeV produced by neutron capture on hydr…
Theia: An advanced optical neutrino detector
M. Askins, Z. Bagdasarian, N. Barros +75
New developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic photon sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector th…
Directionally Accelerated Detection of an Unknown Second Reactor with Antineutrinos for Mid-Field Nonproliferation Monitoring
D. L. Danielson, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +67
When monitoring a reactor site for nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the presence of an unknown or hidden nuclear reactor could be obscured by the activities of a known reactor of…
J-PARC Neutrino Beamline Upgrade Technical Design Report
K. Abe, H. Aihara, A. Ajmi +381
In this document, technical details of the upgrade plan of the J-PARC neutrino beamline for the extension of the T2K experiment are described. T2K has proposed to accumulate data c…
Absolute Calibration of the DANCE Thermal Neutron Beam using Sodium Activation
V. Fischer, L. Pagani, L. Pickard +6
The measurement of the neutron capture cross-section as a function of energy in the thermal range requires a precise knowledge of the absolute neutron flux. In this paper a new met…
