Description

SBL is a Short-BaseLine reactor neutrino experiment for searching sterile neutrinos, which will be performed using research reactor HANARO in Daejeon, Korea. HANARO has 30MW thermal power and detector will be placed at the distance of about 6m away from reactor. Currently prototype detector which has 50L of Gd-loaded LS as target is constructed and tested in several places with different overburden to understand background caused by cosmic muon and neutron. We compare background data from prototype detector and monte carlo simulation, and we make an effort to reduce background for main detector.
