Parallel talks 2: Applications of Nuclear Technology
- Jonathan Link (Virginia Tech)
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) located in Jiangmen, Guangdong, China is facilitated with a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector. One of the goals of the JUNO experiment is to detect geo-neutrinos produced by radioactive decay of U and Th, in order to provide constraints on the composition and radiogenic heat budget of Earth’s mantle.
To test different mantle composition...
Jinping Underground Laboratory has the advantage of the world's largest vertical rock overburden and the farthest distance to commercial nuclear power plants. The suppression of cosmic-ray muon-induced backgrounds and the neutrinos from the reactor can significantly improve the measurement accuracy of solar and geo neutrinos in the MeV energy region. The 0.5 to 15 MeV interval is an important...
Muon radiography has become an innovative and promising technique for internal density structure imaging, based on measuring the attenuation of cosmic-ray muons after penetrating the target. We have developed a portable muon detector which composed of plastic scintillator and SiPM. By using the detector, we performed several muon radiography experiment in China, such as imaging the overburden...
The low temperature detector based on phonon detection has the advantages of high energy resolution, low energy threshold and low background. This makes it become one of the most competitive detection techniques for searching for neutrino frontier physics, including neutrinoless double beta decay, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, neutrino mass, etc. This talk will focus on...
