“…One of the most popular fields of research in particle physics phenomenology of the last decades has been, and still is, that of neutrino oscillations [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Publications in this field have accompanied an ever increasing and stimulating series of experiments involving either solar, atmospheric or laboratory neutrinos [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. The vast majority of the theoretical studies consider the possibility of massive neutrinos distinct from the flavour eigenstates created in the various production processes.…”

The standard formula for mass oscillations is often based upon the approximation t ≈ L and the hypotheses that neutrinos have been produced with a definite momentum p or, alternatively, with definite energy E. This represents an inconsistent scenario and gives an unjustified reduction by a factor of two in the mass oscillation formulas. Such an ambiguity has been a matter of speculations and mistakes in discussing flavour oscillations. We present a series of results and show how the problem of the factor two in the oscillation length is not a consequence of gedanken experiments, i.e. oscillations in time. The common velocity scenario yields the maximum simplicity. PACS

“…Several nuclear-reactor neutrino experiments were based mostly on inverse beta decay [11][12][13], usually using large volumes of target materials to counter their relatively high threshold energy of several keV. Recently, with the decreasing threshold of solid-state detectors there has been a growing interest in using them for neutrino detection [14,15].…”

Charge coupled devices for detection of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering

This article details the potential for using Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) to detect low-energy neutrinos through their coherent scattering with nuclei. The detection of neutrinos through this standard model process has not been accessible because of the small energy deposited in such interactions with the detector nuclei. Typical particle detectors have thresholds of a few keV, and most of the energy deposition expected from coherent scattering is well below this level. The devices we discuss can be operated at a threshold of approximately 30 eV, making them ideal for observing this signal. For example, the number of coherent scattering events expected on a 52 gram CCD array located next to a power nuclear reactor is estimated to be near to 626 events/year. The results of our study show that detection at a confidence level of 99% can be reached within three months for this kind of detector array.

“…The neutron capture uncertainty, however, is somewhat larger, depending on the 6 Li concentration. Large numbers of events and good position resolution for both interactions would be required [3,4] to achieve sensitivity. The detection medium must contain hydrogen in order to facilitate this inverse beta decay reaction.…”

We report the first clear observation of neutron/gamma-ray pulse-shape sensitivity of a fully-instrumented 8 × 8 array of plastic scintillator segments coupled to two 5 cm × 5 cm 64-channel SiPM arrays as part of a study of the key metrics of a prototype antineutrino detector module designed for directional sensitivity. SANDD (a Segmented AntiNeutrino Directional Detector) will eventually comprise a central module of 64 elongated segments of 6 Li-doped pulse-shape-sensitive scintillator rods, each with a square cross section of 5.4 mm × 5.4 mm, surrounded by larger cross section bars of the same material. The most important metrics with the potential to impact the performance of the central module of SANDD are neutron and gamma-ray pulse-shape sensitivity using silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), particle identification via scintillator rod multiplicity, and energy and position resolution. As a first step, we constructed a prototype detector to investigate the performance of a central SANDD-like module using two 64-channel SiPM arrays and rods of undoped pulse-shape-sensitive plastic scintillator.
