Spectral photon sorting for large-scale Cherenkov and scintillation detectors
Spectral photon sorting for large-scale Cherenkov and scintillation detectors
We describe here measurements with a new device, the ``dichroicon,'' a Winston-style light concentrator built out of dichroic reflectors, which could allow large-scale neutrino detectors to sort photons by wavelength with small overall light loss. Photon sorting would benefit large-scale water or ice Cherenkov detectors such as Hyper-Kamiokande or IceCube …
