Description
This work presents the implementation of a prototype compact reactor antineutrino detector. To detect antineutrinos via the inverse beta decay reaction, the detector combines the following components: a hydrogen-rich base, a high-atomic-number (Z) fluoride scintillator, a neutron-capturing additive, and light-collecting elements. The technology is based on several key principles: delayed coincidence technique, optical compatibility of the system, and high-Z materials enabling compact detection. More than 30 different component configurations were tested, demonstrating the system's high potential for more efficient antineutrino detection.
