Design and characterization of a Muon tomography system for spent nuclear fuel monitoring

Chanwoo Park et al.

Summary: Monitoring spent nuclear fuel in dry cask storage is crucial for national security. Muon tomography, using high energy muons, provides a 3-D structure of the inner materials. We designed and optimized a system with four detectors, and confirmed its feasibility through simulations and line profile analysis.

Improvement of machine learning-based vertex reconstruction for large liquid scintillator detectors with multiple types of PMTs

Zi-Yuan Li et al.

Summary: A novel machine learning-based method was developed to reconstruct event vertices in large liquid scintillator detectors, and its performance was further improved by optimizing the input images of neural networks. By separating information from different types of PMTs and adding the information of the second hit of PMTs, the vertex resolution was improved by approximately 9.4% at 1 MeV and 9.8% at 11 MeV.

A feasibility study of extruded plastic scintillator embedding WLS fiber for AMoRE-II muon veto

J. W. Seo et al.

Summary: AMoRE-II is the second phase of an experiment aiming to search for the neutrino-less double beta decay of Mo-100 isotopes. It requires a deep underground location to minimize cosmic ray backgrounds. The study suggests that using plastic scintillators and wavelength shifting fibers as a muon veto system can improve muon detection efficiency.

Performance of a plastic scintillation fiber dosimeter based on different photoelectric devices

Yue Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the stability and light-dose response of photoelectric devices in a plastic scintillation fiber dosimeter (PSFD), finding that the avalanche photodiode (APD) was most sensitive to temperature. The photomultiplier tube (PMT) and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) showed the best performance in terms of dose response and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) within the range of 0.1-60 Gy/min. Overall, the performance of PMT and SiPM was concluded to be better than that of other devices in the study.

Mass production and characterization of 3-inch PMTs for the JUNO experiment

Chuanya Cao et al.

Summary: The 26,000 3-inch PMTs produced by Hainan Zhanchuang Photonics Technology Co., Ltd for JUNO have passed all acceptance tests, with only 15 tubes rejected. The mass production lasted for about 2 years at a rate of 1,000 PMTs per month, with a joint effort for PMT characterization and quality assurance between HZC and JUNO. This is the largest sample of 3-inch PMTs produced and studied in detail to date.
