Abstract

Nuclear reactors are emitters of a fundamental particle known as an antineutrino. The antineutrinos emitted as a result of nuclear fission reactions inside a reactor core carry information about those fission reactions. To detect the antineutrinos emitted by the nuclear reactor, the exemplary detector detects a positron event followed by a neutron event. The exemplary detector can also reconstruct the direction of the detected neutron to remove events produced by cosmogenic fast neutrons from the neutrons generated by the nuclear fission.
