Abstract
Reactor antineutrino fluxes can be measured to investigate neutrino oscillations including the possible existence of sterile neutrinos and conversely, the measurement of the neutrino spectrum and its composition over time indicates the makeup of the fissile material in the reactor. In view of this dual use potential, the CHANDLER technology has been proposed to realize ton-scale devices for the surface detection of reactor antineutrinos. Particular advantages of CHANDLER-type detectors are their excellent energy resolution, fine spatial granularity and a no-liquids design. During the initial R&D phase, a small prototype, called microCHANDLER, has been built and studied thoroughly using cosmic rays and radioactive sources. The outcome of these initial performance studies is presented here.
