“…The conditional contact radius R 0 is slightly less than expected since the vdW radius of the oxygen molecule is 0.22 nm, 17 and a characteristic radius of the excess electron in alkanes was previously estimated as 0.3–0.35 nm. 32 For the T 1 / τ Q ratios, the most valuable parameter was W QD , the value of which determines the increase in the ratio with a decrease in D .…”

“…From this simulation we obtain the energy deposition of each particle. These are then translated into the number of electrons with an estimated electron yield of 𝐺 𝑖 𝑓 = 7 e − /keV [29] for TMS. We also assume a drift velocity of 𝑣 𝑑 = 5.5 µm/ns corresponding to an electric field 𝐸 ≈ 5 kV/cm [25].…”

A: The MeV region of antineutrino energy is of special interest for physics research and for monitoring nuclear nonproliferation. Whereas liquid scintillation detectors are typically used to detect the Inverse Beta Decay (IBD), it has recently been proposed to detect it with a liquidorganic Time Projection Chamber, which could allow a full reconstruction of the particle tracks of the IBD final state. We present the first comprehensive simulation-based study of the expected signatures. Their unequivocal signature could enable a background-minimized detection of electron antineutrinos using information on energy, location and direction of all final state particles. We show that the positron track reflects the antineutrino's vertex. It can also be used to determine the initial neutrino energy. In addition, we investigate the possibility to reconstruct the antineutrino direction on an event-by-event basis by the energy deposition of the neutron-induced proton recoils. Our simulations indicate that this could be a promising approach which should be further studied through experiments with a detector prototype.

“…Tables 1 and 2 show some useful properties of a selection of previously studied organic liquids. This list is by no means exhaustive, for a more complete list of studied liquids see [17]. Some of the organic liquids contain high Z atoms and so are interesting for gamma ray detection.…”
