Proof-of-principle measurements with a liquid-scintillator detector using wavelength-shifting optical modules (1812.06460v1)
Published 16 Dec 2018 in physics.ins-det and hep-ex
Abstract: Based on test-beam measurements, we study the response of a liquid-scintillator detector equipped with wavelength-shifting optical modules, that are proposed e.g. for the IceCube experiment and the SHiP experiment, and adiabatic light guides that are viewed either by a photomultiplier tube or by an array of silicon photomultipliers. We report on the efficiency, the time resolution and the detector response to different particle types and point out potential ways to improve the detector performance.
