Cosmogenic neutron production in water at SNO +

M Abreu, A. Allega, M. R. Anderson, S. Andringa et autres

Accurate measurement of the cosmogenic muon-induced neutron yield is crucial for constraining a significant background in a wide range of low-energy physics searches. Although previous underground experiments have measured this yield across various cosmogenic muon energies, SNO + is uniquely positioned due …

The BUTTON-30 detector at Boulby

J. Bae, M. Bergevin, E. P. Bernard, D. S. Bhattacharya et autres

Abstract The BUTTON-30 detector is a 30-tonne technology demonstrator designed to evaluate the potential of hybrid event detection, simultaneously exploiting both Cherenkov and scintillation light to detect particles produced in neutrino interactions. The detector is installed at a depth of 1.1 km …

Design and development of optical modules for the BUTTON-30 detector

D. S. Bhattacharya, J. Bae, M. Bergevin, J. Boissevain et autres

BUTTON-30 is a neutrino detector demonstrator located in the STFC Boulby underground facility in the north-east of England. The main goal of the project is to deploy and test the performance of the gadolinium-loaded water-based liquid scintillator for neutrino detection in an …

Evidence of Antineutrinos from Distant Reactors using Pure Water at SNO+

SNO Collaboration, A. Allega, M. R. Anderson, S. Andringa et autres

The SNO+ Collaboration reports the first evidence of reactor antineutrinos in a Cherenkov detector. The nearest nuclear reactors are located 240~km away in Ontario, Canada. This analysis uses events with energies lower than in any previous analysis with a large water Cherenkov …
