چکیده
In the present paper we will focuse on the problematic of comogenics isotopes, in particular Li-9 and He-8, which are produced by muons interactions with the carbon target contained in the liquid scintillator. The study of this kind of isotopes has a major role in reactor neutrino experiments because their ability to mimic the detection reaction. We will discuss the physics porcess which dominate the production of such isotopes, after we will show via comparisons with available data the reliability of this point of view.

Physics process of cosmogenics 9 Li and 8 He production on muons interactions with carbon target in liquid scintillator Karim
Simulations were performed with Geant4 to study the cosmogenics Li and He production by the interactions of the muons and their secondary shower particles in the liquid scintillator. The photonuclear reactions seem dominate their production. Their energy dependence were deduced. The results of the simulations are compared with available data. PACS: 05.10.Ln; 24.10.Lx; 25.20.-x; 25.30.Mr
متن کاملPion and neutron production by cosmic-ray muons underground.
The production of positive pions and neutrons by cosmic muons at underground sites of various depths is investigated. We first test the equivalent photon method in the particular case of ∆ excitation by the muon. We find that this method, when it neglects the momentum dependence of the transverse response, reproduces remarkably well the theoretical muon cross section. This success has lead us t...

The isotopic documents of lake deposition are suitable potential means for studyingthe intercontinental, environmental and climatic conditions. In order to study theenvironmental and climatic conditions of Parishan area in Fars province in Holocene, a Corewas taken with the length of 2m from the Parishan lake sediment. From this core, kernel timeseries was provided from documents of carbon and ...
متن کاملMuon and Cosmogenic Neutron Detection in Borexino
Borexino, a liquid scintillator detector at LNGS, is designed for the detection of neutrinos and antineutrinos from the Sun, supernovae, nuclear reactors, and the Earth. The feeble nature of these signals requires a strong suppression of backgrounds below a few MeV. Very low intrinsic radiogenic contamination of all detector components needs to be accompanied by the efficient identification of ...
متن کاملPulse-shape discrimination of scintillation from alpha and beta particles with liquid scintillator and Geiger-mode multipixel avalanche diodes
A successfull application of Geiger-mode multipixel avalanche diodes (GMAPDs) for pulse-shape discrimination in alpha-beta spectrometry using organic liquid scintillator is described in this paper. Efficient discrimination of alpha and beta components in the emission of radioactive isotopes is achieved for alpha energies above 0.3 MeV. The ultra-compact design of the scintillating detector help...
