Description
Located 44 m from a reactor core of the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO/JUNO-TAO) is a ton-scale liquid scintillator detector with SiPMs operating at cryogenic temperatures, enabling high light yield and excellent energy resolution. Among muon-induced backgrounds, spallation neutrons (fast neutrons from cosmic-ray muon interactions) pose a particular challenge, as they can produce signals mimicking reactor antineutrinos via inverse beta decay. This poster presents a study of muon-induced spallation neutrons at TAO, covering their production rates, characteristics, and potential mitigation strategies.
