Searches for heavy neutral lepton decays at spallation neutron sources
Valentina De Romeri, A. Galindo-Uribarri, Ana MartÃn-Galán +2
Spallation neutron sources provide intense neutrino fluxes from pion and muon decay at rest, with energies in the few tens of MeV range. Experiments such as COHERENT exploit these…
Gamma Backgrounds for Experiments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Baldenegro +53
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial d…
Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a prolific muon producer, making it an ideal location for studying dark sector particles produced in…
Energy Calibration and Performance of HPGe Detectors in the LEGEND-200 Experiment
The LEGEND Collaboration, H. Acharya, M. Agostini +259
This paper describes the energy scale procedures and germanium detectors performance in the LEGEND-200 experiment, a critical component for the first unblinding in the search for n…
New Deep Learning Data Analysis Method for PROSPECT using GAPE: Genetic Algorithm Powered Evolution
M. Adriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Bass +40
We propose a genetic algorithm powered evolution (GAPE) method to create deep learning solutions for energy and position estimation for reactor antineutrino interactions in the Pre…
The COHERENT Experiment: 2026 Update
M. Adhikari, M. Ahn, D. Amaya Matamoros +107
The COHERENT experiment measures neutrino-induced recoils from coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) with multiple nuclear targets at the Spallation Neutron Source (…
