Prototype reactor-antineutrino detector based on -doped pulse-shape-discriminating plastic scintillator Open
An aboveground 60-kg reactor-antineutrino detector prototype, comprised of a 2-dimensional array of 36 $^{6}$Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator bars, is described. Each bar is 50~cm long with a square cross section of 5.5~…

Predicting the single-site and multi-site event discrimination power of dual-phase time projection chambers Open
Dual-phase xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) are widely used in searches for rare dark matter and neutrino interactions, in part because of their excellent position reconstruction capability in 3D. Despite their millimeter-scale resolu…

Final Search for Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR Open
The PROSPECT experiment is designed to perform precise searches for antineutrino disappearance at short distances (7–9 m) from compact nuclear reactor cores. This Letter reports results from a new neutrino oscillation analysis performed us…

Exclusion and Verification of Remote Nuclear Reactors with a 1-kiloton -Doped Water Detector Open
To date, antineutrino experiments built for the purpose of demonstrating a nonproliferation capability have typically employed organic scintillators situated as close to the core as possible (typically at a distance of a few meters to tens…

Production and suppression of delayed light in NaI(Tl) scintillators Open
Here we investigate a hypothesis that energy accumulation and the subsequent release in NaI(Tl) may lead to pulselike events in the few-keV energy regime, a phenomenon suggested by the crystal manufacturing company Saint-Gobain, who provid…

Synthesis and processing of lithium-loaded plastic scintillators on the kilogram scale Open
Plastic scintillators that can discriminate between gamma rays, fast neutrons, and thermal neutrons were synthesized and characterized while considering the balance between processing and performance at the kilogram scale. These trade-offs…

Evaluation of a Positron-Emission-Tomography-based SiPM readout for Compact Segmented Neutron Imagers Open
Gamma-ray emission from special nuclear material (SNM) is relatively easy to shield from detection using modest amounts of high-Z material. In contrast, fast-neutrons are much more penetrating and can escape relatively thick high-Z shieldi…

Measurement of muon-induced high-energy neutrons from rock in an underground Gd-doped water detector Open
We present a measurement of the rate of correlated neutron captures in the WATCHBOY detector, deployed at a depth of approximately 390 meters water equivalent (m.w.e.) in the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF). WATCHBOY consis…

Characterization of the $^{12}$C(p,p')$^{12}$C Reaction (E$_p$=19.5$-$30 MeV) for Active Interrogation Open
Passive detection of special nuclear material (SNM) is challenging due to its inherently low rate of spontaneous emission of penetrating radiation, the relative ease of shielding, and the fluctuating and frequently overwhelming background.…

Directionally Accelerated Detection of an Unknown Second Reactor with Antineutrinos for Mid-Field Nonproliferation Monitoring Open
When monitoring a reactor site for nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the presence of an unknown or hidden nuclear reactor could be obscured by the activities of a known reactor of much greater power nearby. Thus when monitoring reactor ac…

SANDD: A highly-segmented pulse-shape-sensitive plastic scintillator detector incorporating silicon photomultiplier arrays Open
We have studied the key metrics of a prototype antineutrino detector module designed for directional sensitivity. SANDD (a Segmented AntiNeutrino Directional Detector) will eventually comprise a central module of 64 elongated segments of $…
