摘要
Spatial/temporal patterns of light produced in large scintillator experiments like SNO+ are sensitive to particle ID/count. Here we set out rules for choosing a test statistic for hypothesis testing based on timing and demonstrate two applications to the SNO+ [1] neutrinoless double beta decay (0 nu beta beta) experiment: constraining internal Co-60 contamination, and suppressing the 2.6MeV gamma background created by Tl-208 decay on the acrylic vessel.
