Calculation of the Pulse Height Distribution Induced by Fast Neutrons in a Scintillation Detector
The probability distribution of light pulses produced in an organic scintillator by impinging fast neutrons is calculated. It is assumed that the slowing down takes place on a mixture of hydrogen and carbon atoms, and that the light produced is a non-linear function of the energy transferred to the H atoms and a linear function of the transferred energy to C atoms in each individual collision. ...
متن کاملMuon-Induced Neutrons Do Not Explain the DAMA Data.
We present an accurate model of the muon-induced background in the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. Our work challenges proposed mechanisms which seek to explain the observed DAMA signal modulation with muon-induced backgrounds. Muon generation and transport are performed using the MUSIC/MUSUN code, and subsequent interactions in the vicinity of the DAMA detector cavern are simulated with Geant4. We esti...
متن کاملScintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector
The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...
متن کاملA 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 کاملHigh-pressure Helium-3 Scintillation Position-sensitive Detector of Thermal Neutrons
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a compact neutron detector that is sensitive to thermal and epithermal neutrons and has high rejection efficiency relative to gamma-ray background. A two-channel high-pressure He scintillation detector is considered for the detection of neutrons in coincidence mode. The detector consists of two large avalanche photodi...
