Contribution List

1. Evaluating Fast Multi-Channel Photosensors and Readout Electronics for Large Neutrino Detectors

Viacheslav Li (LLNL)

1/3/25, 9:00 AM

To achieve high energy resolution in large-volume neutrino detectors, it is essential to ensure good photocoverage and use an affordable detection medium. New detection media, such as water-based scintillators, have opened up new opportunities in high-energy physics and nuclear nonproliferation through antineutrino reactor monitoring. Fast, large-area photosensors and multi-channel fast-timing...

William McDonough (Tohoku)

1/3/25, 10:00 AM

2. Overview of OBD project

Hiroko Watabe (Tohoku)

1/3/25, 10:30 AM

4. Hardware development for prototype detector

Takanobu Ono (Tohoku)

1/3/25, 11:00 AM

We are currently developing a prototype detector that will be the first step in the OBD project to realize the idea of a large detector for neutrino observation. Since the deep sea is a very different environment of low temperature and high pressure compared to detectors on continents, it is essential to develop detector elements adapted to this environment.

In this presentation, I will...

5. Simulation study of OBD

Simran Chauhan (Tohoku)

1/3/25, 11:30 AM

We have performed simulations in Geant4 for a 17kt size Ocean Bottom Detector and optical simulations for small prototype.

I will talk about following points:
Estimation of the number of expected geoneutrino and background events in 17kt detector
Expected energy spectrum optical simulation tool for small prototype to count the number of photons produced
Estimation of signal intensity...
