Antineutrino detector for anti. nu. oscillation studies at fission weapon tests and at LAMPF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6810871
Two anti ..nu.. oscillation experiments are planned, incorporating large volume (4200 l) liquid scintillation detectors 1) at large distances (450 to 800 m) from fission weapon tests and 2) at 12 to 50 m from LAMPF beam dump where significant anti ..nu../sub e/ events are detected only if some oscillation operates, such as ..nu../sub ..mu../ ..-->.. ..nu../sub e/. Design criteria, detector characteristics, and experimental considerations are given.
