Gadolinium study for a water Cherenkov detector
Modification of large water Cherenkov detectors by addition of gadolinium has been proposed. The large cross section for neutron capture on Gd will greatly improve the sensitivity to antielectron neutrinos from supernovae and reactors. A five-year project to build and develop a prototype detector based on Super-Kamiokande (SK) has started. We are performing various studies, including a material...
متن کاملLarge Natural Cherenkov Detectors : Water and Ice
In this review we rst address 2 questions: why do we need kilometer-scale muon and neutrino detectors? what do we learn from the operating Baikal and AMANDA detectors about the construction of kilometer-scale detectors? I will subsequently discuss the challenges for building the next-generation detectors. The main message is that these are diierent, in fact less ominous, than for commissioning ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Wavelength Shifters on Water Cherenkov Detectors
In recent years several experiments have been planned to measure the proton lifetime and, among those under construction, some detectors [ 1 3 ] use large amounts of water as a source of protons and Cherenkov light (CL) for detection of p-decay products. The dynamical interpretation of the events and the vertex reconstruction are the main problems in water Cherenkov detectors; these problems ca...
متن کاملNovel Cherenkov photon detectors
Gaseous detectors using multiple gas electron multiplier (GEM) electrodes permit to attain large amplification factors with a strong suppression of photon and ion-mediated feedback. With the first GEM in a cascade coated with a photosensitive layer, they provide efficient and fast single photon detection, with excellent position resolution. General performances of CsI-coated multi-GEM detectors...
متن کاملNew Generation Atmospheric Cherenkov Detectors
High energy γ-ray astronomy has been established during the last decade through the launch of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) and the success of its ground-based counterpart, the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. In the aftermath of their important and surprising scientific results a worldwide effort developing and designing new generation atmospheric Cherenkov detectors is unde...
