Descrizione
The LiquidO technology proposes a new paradigm of detection that uses an
opaque medium to confine light and wavelength-shifting fibers to collect it near
its point of emission. After a summary of the demonstration of light confinement
using a 10-liter prototype, we will explore a future project that will exploit this
technology.
The SuperChooz project is a neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a
10 kton detector planned to be based near the Chooz nuclear reactor in France.
In the context of this project, we will explore the background rejection capabilities
of a LiquidO-based detector.
The main point of interest of the LiquidO technology is the possibility to
access the topology of an event. Therefore, we will mainly focus on the use of
spatial coincidences in neutrino reactions to reject background events. Through
the use of Monte-Carlo simulations, we will be testing different levels of spatial
resolutions. We will observe how those resolutions affect the background
rejection capabilities of the SuperChooz detector.
We will focus more closely on the reaction of neutrinos on $^115$In proposed
by Raghavan in 1976 to probe the solar neutrino spectrum.
