Cosmic ray test of water Cerenkov detector @Kyoto (2015)

We designed and constructed a new prototype water cherenkov detector.
The new water Cherenkov detector has UV transmitting acrylic windows
on top and bottom sides, instead of normal acrylics.
Test experiments with cosmic-rays were performed to investigate performance
factors of the new prototype at room 319 in Kyoto University.

Experimental setup


Figure 1 shows an experimental setup for the cosmic ray test of the water Cherenkov detector.
The the prototype was sandwiched by two plastic scintillation detectors
which were used for a data-taking trigger.
The positions of the trigger scintillation detectors were changed to investigate
the position dependence (y-dependence) of the water Cherenkov detector.
