Abstract

Related Content

A modular design is proposed for an electron antineutrino detector based on boron‐doped liquid scintillator. Tests have been carried out on small detector systems using neutrons to simulate the antineutrino detection signature. Results from these tests are reported, and the possibility of using a larger system of similar design to detect reactor antineutrinos is discussed.
