Large 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 کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Operating Water Cherenkov Detectors in high altitude sites for the Large Aperture GRB Observatory
Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCD) are efficient detectors for detecting GRBs in the 10 GeV 1 TeV energy range using the single particle technique, given their sensitivity to low energy secondary photons produced by high energy photons when cascading in the atmosphere. The Large Aperture GRB Observatory (LAGO) operates arrays of WCD in high altitude sites (above 4500 m a.s.l.) in Bolivia, Mexico a...
متن کاملThe physics impact of proton track identification in future megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors
In this paper, we investigate the impact in future megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors of identifying proton Cherenkov rings. We estimate the expected event rates for detected neutral current and charged current quasi-elastic neutrino interactions from atmospheric neutrinos in a megaton-scale Super-Kamiokande-like detector with both 40% and 20% photo-cathode coverage. With this sample we ex...
