WATCHMAN: WATer CHerenkov Monitor for Anti-Neutrinos
The WATer CHerenkov Monitor for Anti-Neutrinos (WATCHMAN) is the first experiment planned for the Advanced Instrumentation Testbed (AIT) facility just starting construction at the Boulby Underground Lab. The main purpose of WATCHMAN is to develop technology and data analysis techniques to demonstrate the ability to monitor nuclear reactors from distances of 10’s of kilometers as part of future Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaties. WATCHMAN will be able to use the Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station (a distance of 25 kilometers away from the Boulby Lab) as the source of reactor anti-neutrinos for this study.
