In this letter we report the first scientific result based on antineutrinos emitted from BR2 reactor at SCK CEN. The SoLid experiment uses a novel type of highly granular detector whose basic detection unit combines two scintillators, PVT and 6LiF:ZnS(Ag), to measure via their inverse-beta-decay products. An advantage is its linear response as function deposited particle energy. full-scale comprises 12800 voxels operates over very short 6.3--8.9 m baseline core. segmentation 3D imaging...
The SoLid experiment is a very-short-baseline aimed at searching for nuclear-reactor-produced active-to-sterile antineutrino oscillations. detection principle based on the pairing of two types solid scintillators: polyvinyl toluene and 6LiF:ZnS(Ag), which new technology used in this field Physics. In addition to good neutron-gamma discrimination, setup allows detector be highly segmented (the basic unit 5 cm side cube). High segmentation provides numerous advantages, including precise...
We will present the development of two medium-size prototypes GRAiNITA, a next-generation shashlik calorimeter, based on use ZnWO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> and BGO crystal grains, respectively, soaked in high-density high-refractive index liquid. As LiquidO detection technique[1], due to presence scintillation light remains stochastically confined area production; for this reason, it can be collected transferred...
The SoLid experiment is currently taking physics data close to the BR2 reactor core (SCK·CEN, Belgium), exploring very short baseline anti-neutrino oscillations. It aims provide a unique and complementary test of anomaly by measuring both rate energy spectrum. 1.6 tons detector uses an innovative antineutrino detection technique based on highly segmented target volume made PVT cubes LiF:ZnS phosphor screens. combination scintillator signals provides signature in space time localise identify...
