Water-based Liquid Scintillator detector as a new technology testbed for neutrino studies in Turkey - ScienceDirectThis study investigates the deployment of a medium-scale neutrino detector\nnear Turkey's first nuclear power plant, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. The\naim of this detector is to ...
Water detectors have several advantages. They are inexpensive and can be very large, making them useful for monitoring reactors across international borders. Improvements to such monitoring, including using water-based liquid scintillators or “loading” the water with gadolinium, both of which would b...
liquid scintillator ( see Wei Wang’s talk) Optical transparency should give λ 1/e > 10m Absorbance at 430 nm is very close to baseline requirements a long path-length attenuation system is needed for precision measurements RPI 4/12
We are also interested in a water-based liquid scintillator [35, 54, 57] in which the scintillation light yield is comparable with Cherenkov light. This will further enhance the light yield and energy resolution and maintain a similar performance for the direction reconstruction [56, 58]. The ...
” explainsMark Chen. He is the SNO+ director and is based at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. “Reactor antineutrinos have been detected using liquid scintillators in heavy water in the past, but using just pure water to detect them, especially from distant reactors, would be a ...
Li et al. [160] presented a method for designing serpentine flow fields based on an appropriate flow channel pressure drop so that all of the liquid water is evaporated and removed from the cell through the flow fields. However, it is important to note that the cells designed through this ...
Tritium concentrations were measured using the liquid scintillation counter method. First, the sample was distilled and tritium in the sample was enriched by electrolysis. Then, with the addition of an emulsion scintillator, tritium in the electrolysis solution was detected using a low background scint...
The concentration of D2O over time was quantified through the neutron tomograms based on Eq. 3. The flux of water [q, cm s−1] can be computed as $$q=K\Delta h$$ (7) where K is the hydraulic conductivity across the root tissue [cm s−1] and h the is water potential ...
The passive shield is made of lead, copper and cadmium and the active shield is based on a mineral oil scintillator. Low-activity materials Results and discussions The results of gross alpha and gross beta measurements in drinking water samples in Vojvodina province are presented in Table 2. ...
after 45 s a highliquid saturationis observed at the GDL-flow field interface, but it remains difficult to conclude on the water connectivity based on the tomographic slices. Animations of the time-series tomographic slices (Fig. 6a and b) can be accessed asmmc1.mp4 andmmc2.mp4 in the su...
