Probing Non-Standard Couplings of Neutrinos at the Borexino Detector
The present experimental status does not exclude weak-strength non-standard interactions of neutrinos with electrons. These interactions can be revealed in solar neutrino experiments. Our discussion covers several aspects related to this issue. First, we perform an analysis of the Super Kamiokande and SNO data to investigate their sensitivity to such interactions. Second, we suggest that the Bo...
متن کاملCalibration of photomultipliers gain used in the J-PET detector
Photomultipliers are commonly used in commercial PET scanner as devices which convert light produced in scintillator by gamma quanta from positron-electron annihilation into electrical signal. For proper analysis of obtained electrical signal, a photomultiplier gain curve must be known, since gain can be significantly different even between photomultipliers of the same model. In this article we...
متن کاملBOREXINO: a Real Time Detector for Low Energy Solar Neutrinos
After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the conceptual design and expected performance of the BOREXINO underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the BOREXINO project, are summarized. Indicative sensitivities to non-standard neutrino physics scenarios are presented.
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 کاملMuon Counting using Silicon Photomultipliers in the AMIGA detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory designed to extend its energy range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the cosmic ray primary particle showers. The array will be formed by an infill of surface water-Cherenkov detectors associated with buried scintillation counters employed for muon counting. Each counter is ...
