Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
The Double Chooz antineutrino detectors
Double Chooz Collaboration, H. de Kerret, Y. Abe +247
This article describes the setup and performance of the near and far detectors in the Double Chooz experiment. The electron antineutrinos of the Chooz nuclear power plant were meas…
Improvement of radon detector performance by using a large-sized PIN-photodiode
K. Okamoto, Y. Nakano, G. Pronost +4
Radioactive noble gas radon () is one of the major background sources below the MeV region in rare event search experiments. To precisely measure radon concentra…
First Gadolinium Loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +212
In order to improve Super-Kamiokande's neutron detection efficiency and to thereby increase its sensitivity to the diffuse supernova neutrino background flux, 13 tons of $\rm Gd_2(…
The Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment -- Snowmass LOI
Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, P. Adrich +387
Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation underground water Cherenkov detector that builds on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment. The detector which has an 8.4~times l…
Evaluation of Gadolinium's Action on Water Cherenkov Detector Systems with EGADS
Ll. Marti, M. Ikeda, Y. Kato +65
Used for both proton decay searches and neutrino physics, large water Cherenkov (WC) detectors have been very successful tools in particle physics. They are notable for their large…
Development of new radon monitoring systems in the Kamioka mine
Guillaume Pronost, Motoyasu Ikeda, Taku Nakamura +2
Radioactivity from radon is a major threat for high-precision low energy physics experiments like the ones in the Kamioka Mine. We developed a new high sensitive radon monitoring s…
Hyper-Kamiokande Design Report
Hyper-Kamiokande Proto-Collaboration, :, K. Abe +313
On the strength of a double Nobel prize winning experiment (Super)Kamiokande and an extremely successful long baseline neutrino programme, the third generation Water Cherenkov dete…
Performance of a full scale prototype detector at the BR2 reactor for the SoLid experiment
Y. Abreu, Y. Amhis, L. Arnold +48
The SoLid collaboration has developed a new detector technology to detect electron anti-neutrinos at close proximity to the Belgian BR2 reactor at surface level. A 288kg protot…
Novel event classification based on spectral analysis of scintillation waveforms in Double Chooz
T. Abrahão, H. Almazan, J. C. dos Anjos +94
Liquid scintillators are a common choice for neutrino physics experiments, but their capabilities to perform background rejection by scintillation pulse shape discrimination is gen…
A novel segmented-scintillator antineutrino detector
Y. Abreu, Y. Amhis, L. Arnold +53
The next generation of very-short-baseline reactor experiments will require compact detectors operating at surface level and close to a nuclear reactor. This paper presents a new d…
Characterization of the Spontaneous Light Emission of the PMTs used in the Double Chooz Experiment
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, T. Abrahão +146
During the commissioning of the first of the two detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, an unexpected and dominant background caused by the emission of light inside the optical…
Ortho-positronium observation in the Double Chooz Experiment
Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos, J. C. Barriere +143
The Double Chooz experiment measures the neutrino mixing angle by detecting reactor via inverse beta decay. The positron-neutron space and time coincidence allow…
Precision Muon Reconstruction in Double Chooz
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos +141
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of liq…
