Characterizing scintillator detector response for correlated fission experiments with MCNP and associated packages

Reactor Neutrino Experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector

We discuss several new ideas for reactor neutrino oscillation experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector. We consider two different scenarios for a measurement of the small mixing angle θ13 with a mobile ν̄e source: a nuclear-powered ship, such as a submarine or an icebreaker, and a land-based scenario with a mobile reactor. The former setup can achieve a sensitivity to sin 2θ13 . 0.0...

106CdWO4 crystal scintillator in coincidence with four crystals HPGe detector

An experiment to search for double beta processes in Cd by using cadmium tungstate crystal scintillator enriched in Cd (106CdWO4) in coincidence with the four crystals HPGe detector GeMulti is in progress at the STELLA facility of the Gran Sasso underground laboratory of INFN (Italy). The 106CdWO4 scintillator is viewed by a low-background photomultiplier tube through a lead tungstate crystal l...

Simulated Neutron Response Functions of Phoswich-Type Neutron Detector and Thin Organic Liquid Scintillator

Neutron response functions of a phoswich neutron detector and thin organic liquid scintillator were simulated using the multi-purpose Monte Carlo code MCNPX, incorporating functions of light outputs, energy resolutions, and uniformity of scintillation. The simulated response functions were verified by response-function measurement for high-energy neutrons produced by bombarding thin lithium tar...
