A mobile antineutrino detector with plastic scintillators

Understand

We propose a new type segmented antineutrino detector made of plastic scintillators for the nuclear safeguard application.

• A small prototype was built and tested to measure background events.
• A satisfactory unmanned field operation of the detector system was demonstrated.
• Besides, a detailed Monte Carlo simulation code was developed to estimate the antineutrino detection efficiency of the detector.
