论文摘要
JSNS $^{2} $(J-PARC散布中微子搜索中微子搜索中微子搜索)实验旨在在J-PARC的24 \,M缩短基线上搜索中微子振荡。 JSNS $^{2} $内部检测器充满了17吨gadolinium负载的液体闪光灯(LS),并且中间$γ$ - 捕捉器和光学分离的外部否决者都填充了未加载的LS。 120个光电倍增管(PMTS)观察到来自闪烁的光子光子。 JSNS2实验共有130个PMT均由其他实验捐赠,并从Hamamatsu购买。捐赠的PMT是在10年前大约购买的,因此JSNS $^{2} $进行了PMT的预校准,包括购买的PMT。 123个PMT显示了JSNS $^{2} $实验的可接受性能,并且在检测器中安装了120个PMT。
The JSNS$^{2}$ (J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source) experiment aims to search for neutrino oscillations over a 24\,m short baseline at J-PARC. The JSNS$^{2}$ inner detector is filled with 17 tons of gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator (LS) and both the intermediate $γ$-catcher and the optically separated outer veto are filled with un-loaded LS. Optical photons from scintillation are observed by 120 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs). A total of 130 PMTs for the JSNS2 experiment were both donated by other experiments and purchased from Hamamatsu. Donated PMTs were purchased around 10 years ago, therefore JSNS$^{2}$ did pre-calibration of the PMTs including the purchased PMTs. 123 PMTs demonstrated acceptable performance for the JSNS$^{2}$ experiment, and 120 PMTs were installed in the detector.
