SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Adam Baldoni (Penn State)-Title: A Novel Target Material for Optical Neutrino Detectors
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 18\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Adam Baldoni (Penn State) \nTitle: A Novel Target Material for Optical Neutrino Detectors \nAbstract: Since the late 1960s\, optical detectors have been a common method for detecting neutrino interactions. Two common target materials for these detectors are pure water and liquid scintillator\, each having advantages and disadvantages. A new material\, water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS)\, has been developed over the last decade at Brookhaven National Laboratory and combines the advantages of its constituents while minimizing their disadvantages. Small-scale\, tabletop experiments have been done with WbLS\, but ton-scale tests need to be performed before scaling up to a kiloton-scale WbLS detector. This talk will give an overview of three ton-scale WbLS detectors currently in operation\, detailing their design and the physics underlying how these detectors work. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722
