Abstract

We report on the construction and performance of a calibration source for KamLAND using the reaction C-13 (alpha, n)O-16 with Po-210 as the alpha progenitor. The source provides a direct measurement of this background reaction in our detector, high energy calibration points for the detector energy scale, and data on quenching of the neutron visible energy in KamLAND scintillator. We also discuss the possibility of using the C-13(alpha, n)O-16 reaction as a source of tagged slow neutrons. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Summary: We report the search for electron antineutrinos from astrophysical sources using the KamLAND detector. Although some candidate events were observed, no significant excess over the background model was found. Upper flux limits and limits on the annihilation rates for light dark matter pairs were determined. The study also improves the upper probability limit of B-8 solar neutrinos converting into electron antineutrinos.

A new paradigm of reliable sensing with field-deployed electrochemical sensors integrating data redundancy and source credibility

Ajanta Saha, Sotoudeh Sedaghat, Sarath Gopalakrishnan, Jose Waimin, Aiganym Yermembetova, Nicholas Glassmaker, Charilaos Mousoulis, Ali Shakouri, Alexander Wei, Rahim Rahimi, Muhammad A. Alam

Summary: In order to reliably sense the analyte concentration reported by electrochemical sensors, we propose to use low-cost sensors and borrow concepts from communication theory and computer science. By measuring the same quantity with multiple sensors and aggregating their outputs based on credibility, we can estimate the true signal and correct any systematic drifts during operation. Our approach can achieve high-precision sensing with low-cost sensors at reduced transmission cost by restricting wireless transmission to high-credible sensors.

Summary: The MoEDAL trapping detector is made up of approximately 800 kg of aluminum volumes and was exposed to proton-proton collisions during run 2 of the LHCb program. Evidence for particles with electric and magnetic charge in the trapping detector was sought using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. By excluding dyons and monopoles within certain charge and mass ranges, the study provides important insights into the characteristics of these particles.

Summary: The nEXO experiment proposes the use of light originating in the skin LXe region to improve background discrimination by 5%. This improvement comes from removing a fraction of gamma-ray background and efficiently rejecting background from Rn-222 dissolved in the skin LXe by tagging the decay in the Bi-214-Po-214 chain in the skin LXe.

Summary: This study presents a detailed optical simulation of the DARWIN detector using the Chroma framework, a GPU-based photon tracking platform. By simulating variations of the conventional detector design, the framework's efficiency and light collection time were evaluated. The results demonstrate that this approach provides a faster and more detailed alternative to traditional Geant4 optical simulations, making it an attractive tool for guiding the development of liquid xenon observatories.

M. Loyd, A. Khaplanov, V. Sedov, J. Beal, T. Visscher, C. Donahue, C. Montcalm, G. Warren, R. Butz, C. Boone, C. Hart, R. Riedel, Y. Diawara

Summary: Thermal and cold neutron beamlines require detector systems with high efficiency, large active area, and good spatial resolution. This study presents a new design of Anger camera using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) instead of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), offering better resolution, less distortion, and more compactness. The use of SiPMs also enables the camera to be used in strong magnetic fields, providing additional experimental capabilities.

Reduction of light output of plastic scintillator tiles during irradiation at cold temperatures and in low-oxygen environments

B. Kronheim, A. Belloni, T. K. Edberg, S. C. Eno, C. Howe, C. Palmer, C. Papageorgakis, M. Paranjpe, S. Sriram

Summary: This paper presents measurements of the relative decrease of light output during irradiation of small plastic scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers. The study found substantial temporary damage during low-temperature irradiation, regardless of oxygen concentration and wrapping material. The wrapping material had an impact on the relative light loss, with the 3M(TM) Enhanced Specular Reflector Film showing the largest loss. The light loss was less at warmer temperatures and similar to that in standard atmosphere with 3% oxygen concentration. Evidence of a plateau in the radical density was seen for the data at 0 degrees C.
