Neutrino oscillation parameters: Future

2019

The Neutrino Oscillation Workshop (NOW2018) included a session addressing neutrino oscillation parameters in the future. This session included discussion of planned and proposed experiments, detector technologies, and analysis techniques to better measure neutrino oscillation parameters. Constraint of systematic uncertainty in future precision measurements was a topic of particular interest. This proceedings is a brief summary of the presentations in the Oscillation Parameters: Future session; readers are directed to individual contributions to the proceedings for more detailed information.

Optimization of the JUNO liquid scintillator composition using a Daya Bay antineutrino detector

2021

To maximize the light yield of the liquid scintillator (LS) for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 t LS sample was produced in a pilot plant at Daya Bay. The optical properties of the new LS in various compositions were studied by replacing the gadolinium-loaded LS in one antineutrino detector. The concentrations of the fluor, PPO, and the wavelength shifter, bis-MSB, were increased in 12 steps from 0.5 g/L and <0.01 mg/L to 4 g/L and 13 mg/L, respectively. The numbers of total detected photoelectrons suggest that, with the optically purified solvent, the bis-MSB concentration does not need to be more than 4 mg/L. To bridge the one order of magnitude in the detect…
