parallel talk Neutrinos III

Speaker

Jaime Navarrete

Description

We will demonstrate the usage of GDML within GEANT4 for building and optimizing shielding for germanium detectors used by MINER, which is a current experiment aimed at detecting coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at a few meter baseline from a 1MW nuclear reactor. We will discuss preliminary comparisons with background data recently obtained by a germanium detector at the reactor site where MINER operates.
