A large-scale low-background liquid scintillation detector: the counting test facility at Gran Sasso
A 4.8 m3 unsegmented liquid scintillation detector at the underground Laboratori Nazionali de1 Gran Sasso has shown the feasibility of multi-ton low-background detectors operating to energies as low as 250 keV. Detector construction and the handling of large volumes of liquid scintillator to minimize the background are described. The scintillator, 1.5 g PPO/L-pseudocumene. is held in a flexible...
متن کاملA low background facility inside the LVD detector at Gran Sasso
The Large Volume Detector (LVD) in the Gran Sasso Laboratory of INFN is an observatory mainly devoted to search for neutrinos from core collapse supernovae. It consists of 1000 tons of liquid scintillator divided in 840 stainless steel tanks 1.5m3 each. In this letter we present the possibility for LVD to work both as a passive shield and moderator for the low energy gamma and neutron backgroun...
متن کاملProspects for SIMPLE 2000: a large-mass, low-background superheated droplet detector for WIMP searches
The Superheated Instrument for Massive Particle searches (SIMPLE 2000) will consist of an array of 8–16 large active mass ( 15 g) superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) to be installed in the new underground laboratory of Rustrel-Pays d’Apt. Several factors make the use of SDDs an attractive approach for the detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), namely their intrinsic insensi...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
