Production of radioactive isotopes through cosmic muon spallation in KamLAND

Journal Article Abe, S ; Furuno, K ; Gando, Y ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Radioactive isotopes produced through cosmic muon spallation are a background for rare-event detection in nu detectors, double-beta-decay experiments, and dark-matter searches. Understanding the nature of cosmogenic backgrounds is particularly important for future experiments aiming to determine the pep and CNO solar neutrino fluxes, for which the background is dominated by the spallation production of {sup 11}C. Data from the Kamioka liquid-scintillator antineutrino detector (KamLAND) provides valuable information for better understanding these backgrounds, especially in liquid scintillators, and for checking estimates from current simulations based upon MUSIC, FLUKA, and GEANT4. Using the time correlation between detected muons and neutron captures, themore »« less

Measurement of cosmic-ray muon spallation products in a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator with KamLAND

Journal Article Abe, S. ; Asami, S. ; Eizuka, M. ; ... - Physical Review. C

Cosmic-ray muons produce various radioisotopes when passing through material. These spallation products can be backgrounds for rare event searches such as in solar neutrino, double-β decay, and dark matter search experiments. The KamLAND-Zen experiment searches for neutrinoless double-β decay in 745 kg of xenon dissolved in liquid scintillator. The experiment includes dead-time-free electronics with a high efficiency for detecting muon-induced neutrons. The production yields of different radioisotopes are measured with a combination of delayed coincidence techniques, newly developed muon reconstruction, and xenon spallation identification methods. The observed xenon spallation products are consistent with results from the FLUKA and GEANT4 simulationmore » codes.« less

Measurements of the charge ratio and polarization of 1. 2-TeV/ c cosmic-ray muons with the Kamiokande II detector

Journal Article Yamada, M ; Miyano, K ; Miyata, H ; ... - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

We measured the charge ratio and the polarization of the high-energy cosmic-ray muons arriving with zenith angles from 0{degree} to 90{degree} in the large underground water Cherenkov detector, Kamiokande II. The charge ratio ({ital R}({mu}{sup +}/{mu}{sup {minus}})) and the polarization ({ital P}{sub 0}) are found to be 1.37{plus minus}0.06(stat){plus minus}0.01(syst) and 0.26{plus minus}0.04(stat){plus minus}0.05(syst), respectively, at the sea-level momentum of 1.2 TeV/{ital c}. This result for the charge ratio is in good agreement with those previously obtained in experiments using magnetic spectrometers at sea level and underground. This is the first measurement of the polarization of the cosmic-ray muons inmore » the TeV region.« less
