Continued Study of the Time Stability of a Small Water Cerenkov Detector
This note describes continued studies at Fermilab of the long term stability of a small water Cerenkov tank. The water tank, bag liner, water, photomultiplier tube, and data acquisition software were unchanged for the additional measurements from June to November, 1999. However, some details of the geometry of the trigger counters relative to the tank and of the electronics may have differed. T...
متن کاملThe measurements of 2200 ETL9351 type photomultipliers for the Borexino experiment with the photomultiplier testing facility at LNGS
The results of tests of more than 2200 ETL9351 type PMTs for the Borexino detector with the PMT test facility are presented. The PMTs characteristics relevant for the proper detector operation and modeling are discussed in detail. r 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
متن کاملComparative assessment of the accuracy of maximum likelihood and correlated signal enhancement algorithm positioning methods in gamma camera with large square photomultiplier tubes
Introduction: The gamma cameras, based on scintillation crystal followed by an array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), play a crucial role in nuclear medicine. The use of square PMTs provides the minimum dead zones in the camera. The camera with square PMTs also reduces the number of PMTs relative to the detection area. Introduction of a positioning algorithm to improve the spat...
متن کاملSNO + detector : preparations for first physics data
SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino detector, which will primarily study neutrinoless double beta decay. Preparations are underway for the first phase of physics data-taking, with a water-filled detector. In terms of hardware, recent electronics repairs are described, as well as the programme which has shown to be ∼90% effective in repairing failed photomultiplier tubes. Testing of Data Quality ha...
متن کاملAging of Dielectric - coated Aluminum in Deionized water
Introduction According to present theory, the nuclear processes in the sun give off vast quantities of neutrinos-Experiments confirm the production of these particles, but fail to detect the quantity predicted by theory. The most recent experiments have found a maximum of two thirds the expected number of neutrinos. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory is being constructed to accurately determine t...
