A novel water-Cherenkov detector design with retro-reflectors to produce an8podal rings

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

By adding reflectors between PMTs, it might be possible to improve vertex and angular resolution ~2x in water-Cherenkov detectors. Problems like multiple reflections and alignment difficulties are elegantly solved by using retro-reflectors instead of normal mirrors. Research for solving practical difficulties in implementation and data-analysis is ongoing. Improvements should help with kinematic selection of multi-ring events and reduce cost of water-Cherenkov detectors by requiring less PMTs.
