IsoDAR Neutrino Experiment Simulation with Proton and Deuteron Beams

TL;DR

This paper simulates the IsoDAR neutrino source using proton and deuteron beams, showing deuteron beams produce about three times more neutrinos at low energy, aiding beyond standard model physics searches.

Contribution

It introduces a GEANT4 simulation of neutrino production in IsoDAR experiments with proton and deuteron beams, highlighting the increased efficiency of deuteron beams.

Findings

Deuteron beams produce approximately three times more neutrinos than proton beams at low energy.

Simulation results support the potential for enhanced neutrino sources in beyond standard model physics searches.

GEANT4 effectively models neutrino production in IsoDAR setups.

Abstract

In this paper we consider high-intensity source of electron antineutrinos from the production and subsequent decay of 8Li. It opens a wide range of possible searches for beyond standard model physics via studies of the inverse beta decay interaction. In IsoDAR experiments Lithium 8 is a short lived beta emitter producing a high intensity anti-neutrinos, which is very suitable for making several important neutrino experiments. In this paper we used the GEANT4 program. to simulate neutrino production using proton and deuteron beams. We find that the neutrino production rate is about 3 times from deuteron beam than from proton beam in low energy region.
