摘 要:Purpose Improving the energy resolution of the reactor antineutrino energy *** Simulate the energy resolution of a liquid scintillator detector and reconstruct the antineutrino energy with the positron scattering angle,a simple positron direction reconstruction method is implemented in a toy liquid scintillator detector like the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory(TAO)with 4500 photoelectron yield per *** A 4%to 26%improvement of energy resolution can be achieved for 5 MeV reactor antineutrinos at *** The emission direction of the produced positron in IBD reaction can be used to estimate the kinetic energy of neutron and thus the reconstructed antineutrino energy resolution can be improved.
