Abstract
Here we present NuLat (the Neutrino Lattice), a new detector designed to study electron anti-neutrinos a few meters from a nuclear reactor. NuLat features a Raghavan Optical Lattice (ROL) and consists of 3375 boron or 6Li loaded plastic scintillator cubical cells boundaries have a 0.127 mm (0.005) air gap, resulting in total internal reflection guiding most of the light down the 3 cardinal directions. NuLat gives excellent spatial and energy resolution, allowing for in-depth event topology studies. These features allow us to discern inverse beta decay (IBD) signals and oscillation patterns, even in the presence of other backgrounds. We discuss here motivation, efficiency, sensitivity and project status.
