| He, coleader Atsuto Suzuki of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, and their colleagues spent more than 2 years looking for telltale flickers in the Kamioka Liquid Scintillator Antineutrino Detector (KamLAND)--a tough, transparent balloon filled with 1,000 tons of baby oil, benzene, and fluorescent chemicals. The [gamma]-spectrum was studied in the energy region from 35 keV to 100 keV in six Cs(Tl) scintillators, each set at an angle of 35[degrees] to, and shielded from, a central plastic scintillator electron detector. Radioactivity was measured in a Tri-Carb 1900CA (Packard, Downers Grove, IL, USA) liquid scintillator counter. |
