Measurement of Muon-induced High-energy Neutrons from Rock in an Underground Gd-doped Water Detector
F. Sutanto, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +9
We present a measurement of the rate of correlated neutron captures in the WATCHBOY detector, deployed at a depth of approximately 390 meters water equivalent (m.w.e.) in the Kimba…
Developing diagnostic tools for low-burnup reactor samples
Patrick Jaffke, Benjamin Byerly, Jamie Doyle +6
We test common fluence diagnostics in the regime of very low burnup natural uranium reactor samples. The fluence diagnostics considered are the uranium isotopics ratios U/$…
Determining reactor fuel type from continuous antineutrino monitoring
Patrick Jaffke, Patrick Huber
We investigate the ability of an antineutrino detector to determine the fuel type of a reactor. A hypothetical 5t antineutrino detector is placed 25m from the core and measures the…
The Detector System of The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
F. P. An, J. Z. Bai, A. B. Balantekin +330
The Daya Bay experiment was the first to report simultaneous measurements of reactor antineutrinos at multiple baselines leading to the discovery of oscillations over km-…
The Physics and Nuclear Nonproliferation Goals of WATCHMAN: A WAter CHerenkov Monitor for ANtineutrinos
M. Askins, M. Bergevin, A. Bernstein +23
This article describes the physics and nonproliferation goals of WATCHMAN, the WAter Cherenkov Monitor for ANtineutrinos. The baseline WATCHMAN design is a kiloton scale gadolinium…
Antineutrino monitoring for the Iranian heavy water reactor
Eric Christensen, Patrick Huber, Patrick Jaffke +1
In this note we discuss the potential application of antineutrino monitoring to the Iranian heavy water reactor at Arak, the IR-40, as a non-proliferation measure. We demonstrate t…
