The coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off nuclei has eluded detection for four decades, even though its predicted cross section is by far the largest all low-energy neutrino couplings. This mode interaction offers new opportunities to study properties and leads a miniaturization detector size, with potential technological applications. We observed this process at 6.7σ confidence level, using low-background, 14.6-kilogram CsI[Na] scintillator exposed emissions from Spallation Neutron...

We report on a search for electron antineutrinos ($\bar{\nu}_e$) from astrophysical sources in the neutrino energy range 8.3 to 30.8 MeV with KamLAND detector. In an exposure of 6.72 kton-year liquid scintillator, we observe 18 candidate events via inverse beta decay reaction.

In software development, debugging is the most tedious and time-consuming phase. Therefore, various automated fault localization techniques have been proposed to assist debugging. Among existing techniques, Spectrum-Based Fault Localization (SBFL) one of extensively researched methods. Traditional SBFL rely solely on coverage program execution for localization, which means they neglect interactions between entities propagation paths during program, resulting in a tie problem that reduces...
