Measurement of fluence at the D-line fast neutron facility at iThemba LABS
… facility of iThemba LABS, using an NE213 organic liquid scintillator detector and a 238U fission ionisation chamber. Neutron beams were produced by irradiating a 6 mm natural lithium target with pulsed proton beams obtained from the k = 200 separated sector cyclotron. Three incident proton beam …

Measuring the ⁷Be Neutrino Flux From the Sun: Calibration of the Borexino Solar Neutrino Detector
The Borexino solar neutrino detector is a real-time liquid scintillator detector designed to measure sub-MeV neutrinos. With its unprecedented level of radio-purity, Borexino is poised to provide the most precise measurements to-date of solar neutrino and geo-antineutrino fluxes. However, in order …

Searching for Reactor Antineutrino Flavor Oscillations with the Double Chooz Far Detector
… flavor oscillations using the Double Chooz Far Detector. The search was performed by observing the rate and energy spectrum of antineutrinoₑ interacting via Inverse Beta Decay in a Gd-doped liquid scintillator detector, and comparing the observation to an expectation based on a prediction of the …

Internal Radioactive Source Calibration of the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment
… of energy production in the Sun. Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector that will measure the neutrino energy spectrum to the lowest energy threshold to date. It has been designed to measure the flux of the mono-energetic neutrinos produced by electron capture on 7Be in the Sun's core, which …

Phenomenology of a Low-Energy Neutrino Factory and Related Experiments
… physics reach of this setup with a 100 kiloton liquid argon detector and comparing its performance to that of a 50 kiloton liquid scintillator detector and a 440 kiloton water Cerenkov detector. The liquid argon and liquid scintillator detectors are found to perform best, providing sensitivity …

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE JUNO LIQUID SCINTILLATOR: FIRST RADIOPURITY RESULTS
… carried out within the JUNO experiment, a large liquid scintil- lator experiment devoted to study neutrinos. JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) is the largest organic liquid scintillator detector ever built. It exploits 20000 tons of organic liquid scintillator contained in a huge …

Radon Detection and 241Am-7Li Source Development for the Lux-Zeplin Dark Matter Experiment
… WIMPs are theorized to interact with certain detector materials such as liquid xenon (LXe), via the weak force, active on all other known particles, and produce nuclear recoil (NR). However, this detection scheme meets several challenges. Firstly, the LXe must be sufficiently purified of …
