Abstract
Spatial/temporal patterns of light produced in large scintillator experiments like SNO+ are sensitive to particle ID/count. Here we set out rules for choosing a test statistic for hypothesis testing based on timing and demonstrate two applications to the SNO+ [1] neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiment: constraining internal 60Co contamination, and suppressing the 2.6 MeV γ background created by 208Tl decay on the acrylic vessel.
