| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed the gadolinium doped plastic scintillator cured at room temperature, which is not commercially available for now, and we try to develop the reactor neutrino monitor in order to scan the inside of reactor using the large amount of neutrinos generated in the reactor core. In this research period, we succeed to develop the new gadolinium loaded plastic scintillator and improve the light yield after selecting better resins.
We also succeed to detect the pseudo neutrino signal using new middle size scintillator sample.
