The precise reconstruction of charged particle tracks in unsegmented liquid scintillator (LSc) neutrino detectors, e.g., from muons, is an important prerequisite for the efficient rejection of cosmogenic background events or the analysis of multi-GeV neutrino interactions. Topological information on such events, i.e., the reconstructed 3D density distribution of isotropically emitted...

Liquid scintillators are a very common tool for neutrino physics at MeV energies, due to their good light yield and timing. However, in large detectors their capability to perform efficient pulse shape discrimination for background rejection is often limited. In this talk I present a novel approach for event classification, which was developed in the context of the Double Chooz reactor...

This work explores the opportunity of whether neutrinos produced by stars from the solar neighborhood might be detectable in the near future by means of their theoretical predicted fluxes at Earth. The prospects to be the strongest stellar neutrino sources, the main stars in the $\alpha$-Centauri system, Sirius A, Arcturus, Procyon A, Vega, Fomalhaut and Altair, were taken from the Gliese...
