Temperature quenching in LAB based liquid scintillator
Sörensen, A.; Hans, S.; Junghans, A.R.; Krosigk, B.v.; Kögler, T.; Lozza, V.; Wagner, A.; Yeh, M.; Zuber, K.The effect of temperature changes on the light output of LAB based liquid scintillator is investigated in a range from $-5$ to $30\,^{\circ }$ C with $\alpha $ -particles and electrons in a small scale setup. Two PMTs observe the scintillator liquid inside a cylindrically shaped aluminum cuvette that is heated or cooled and the temperature dependent PMT sensitivity is monitored and corrected. The $\alpha $ -emi...
Current Status and Future Prospects of the SNO+ Experiment
SNO+ collaboration (156 authors); Andringa, S.; Barros, N.; Carvalho, J.; Chauhan, D.; Lozza, V.; Maio, A.; Maneira, J.; Prior, G.SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada. It reuses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory detector, consisting of a 12m diameter acrylic vessel which will be filled with about 780 tonnes of ultra-pure liquid scintillator. Designed as a multipurpose neutrino experiment, the primary goal of SNO+ is a search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu\bet...
