Neutron-induced background in the CONUS experiment
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 CONUS is a novel experiment aiming at detecting elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering in the almost fully coherent regime using high-purity germanium (Ge) detectors and a reactor as antineutrino source.

Analyses of the bias and uncertainty of SNF decay heat calculations using Polaris and ORIGEN
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2023 The bias and uncertainty of calculated decay heat from spent nuclear fuel (SNF) are essential for code validation. Also, predicting these quantities is crucial for deriving decay heat safety margins, influencing the design and safety of facilities at the
