Liquid Scintillators and Cherenkov Detectors
- Jeter Hall (SNOLAB)
SNO+ is a neutrino and double-beta decay experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB, Canada. SNO+ developed a novel liquid scintillator based on Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) and 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO). To purify all the components of the scintillator, a new process plant has been designed and constructed underground. Despite the limited space, the plant has a capacity of running several...
JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) [1], currently under construction in southern China, will detect neutrinos from several sources, aiming to determine the neutrino mass ordering at 3σ level in 6 years of data taking, as the primary scientific goal [2]. JUNO consists of a spherical central detector filled with 20000 tons of liquid
scintillator (LS), which is composed of LAB as...
At the Frascati National Laboratories, we are developing a prototype of a detector that to serve as both a muon veto and neutron shield, which utilizes water to detect Cherenkov light. This detector can be used in the Cupid experiment.
This talk will present the preliminary results from tests conducted using cosmic rays and an electron beam at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) in Frascati. The...
