Performance of the LENS Detector Architecture

The Low-Energy Neutrino Spectroscopy (LENS) experiment will precisely measure the energy spectrum of low-energy solar neutrinos via charged-current neutrino reactions on indium. The LENS detector concept applies indium-loaded scintillator in an optically-segmented lattice geometry to achieve precise time and spatial resolution with unprecedented sensitivity for low-energy neutrino events. The LENS collaboration is currently developing prototypes at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF) that aim to demonstrate the performance and selectivity of the scintillation lattice technology. Benchmarking of the prototypes with Monte Carlo simulations is an important step towards understanding the as-built detector performance and implementing the full LENS. We will present an overview of the LENS experiment, general results of Monte Carlo simulations, and the comparison of measurements with the LENS prototypes to the Monte Carlo simulations.
