The liquid scintillator neutrino detector and LAMPF neutrino source
نویسنده
چکیده
A search for neutrino oscillations of the type F& + V, has been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility using F, from muon decay at rest. Evidence for this transition has been reported previously. This paper discusses in detail the experimental setup, detector operation and neutrino source, including aspects relevant to oscillation searches in the muon decay-at-rest and pion decay in flight channels.

The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility sets bounds on neutrino oscillations in the appearance channel νμ → νe by searching for the signature of the reaction νep → e +n : an e+ followed by a 2.2MeV gamma ray from neutron capture. Five e–γ coincidences are observed in time with the LAMPF beam, with an estimated background of 6.2 events. The 90% c...
متن کاملA Method to Calibrate a Neutrino Detector Using the Positron Emitter 68 Ge
A 68 Ge source can be used to calibrate the positron detection eeciency of a liquid scintillation neutrino detector. A method to dissolve radioactive 68 Ge in pseudocumene-based liquid scintillator is described. The homogeneity of the source distribution has been studied and results for two Ge compounds are discussed. Light yield and light attenuation length of the liquid scintillator are not a...
متن کاملHow to observe B solar neutrinos in liquid scintillator detectors
We show that liquid organic scintillator detectors (e. g., KamLAND and Borexino) can measure the 8B solar neutrino flux by means of the νe charged current interaction with the 13C nuclei naturally contained in the scintillators. The neutrino events can be identified by exploiting the time and space coincidence with the subsequent decay of the produced 13N nuclei. We perform a detailed analysis ...
متن کاملThe IHEP–JINR Neutrino Detector at Neutrino Beams of the U-70 Accelerator (Protvino)
The design and parameters of the IHEP–JINR neutrino detector, the largest experimental setup at the U-70 accelerator (IHEP, Protvino), is described. The main detector components (the drift chambers, the liquid-scintillator counters, the detector of electromagnetic showers, and the magnetic system) are described in detail. The organization of the on-line data-acquisition system and the off-line ...
