Scintillators for reactor neutrino detection

Description

Basic characteristics of liquid scintillators used for neutrino detection at the Rovno NPP are given. It is shown that scintillators based on decalin and liquid paraffin mixture with gadolinium salt (0.5 g/l for metal) are optimal. The satisfactory spectral detector characteristics enable to measure energy of positrons emitted in the ν-tildee+p→n + e+ reaction. Detection of γ radiation emitted as a result of slowed-down neutron capture by gadolinium is used for introduction of delayed coincidences and background suppression
