Scientific paper
The detection of positrons (at energy threshold 7 MeV) and neutrons (at 800 keV) from the capture of low-energy stellar-collapse neutrinos in the liquid-scintillation-detector (LSD) experiment at Mont Blanc Laboratory is examined analytically, with a focus on background sources imitating the antineutrino interaction. The experimental setup and the calibration results are summarized, and the neutral-particle background in the LSD is characterized on the basis of preliminary data. It is found that fast neutrons from muon-induced nuclear showers in the rock, spontaneous fission of U-238, and the decay of isotopes produced in the rock or the apparatus by thermal neutron capture are the primary background sources.
