Description | HE Seminar Speaker: John Learned (Hawaii) Title: NuLat: a near-reactor neutrino detector to study the RAA and for other applications Host: Svoboda Room: 432 Abstract:NuLat is a new design for a meter scale electron anti-neutrino detector, employing the LENS geometry to divide the detector into a lattice of small cells. Each cell has a totally internally reflecting boundary, and light from an interaction in one cell goes strongly in the three cardinal directions, pinning down the interactions with a six fold coincidence. Effects due to annihilation gammas are minimized by small cell sizes (6 cm). Not only will this detector have good 5 D resolution (X,Y,Z,t,E), plus some particle identification, it will reject backgrounds efficiently, and reject many signatures in real time. The NuLat team combining the miniTImeCube and LENS groups and others, has much of the development previously accomplished, and construction is expected to be underway soon. |
