1 Response of the PRISMA-YBJ detectors to earthquakes Yuri Stenkin on behalf of PRISMA collaboration Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

2 Outline natural neutron sources global net of en-detectors PRISMA-YBJ results PRISMA-LHAASO and geophysics Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

3 Natural neutron sources 1. Cosmic rays 2. Natural radioactivity Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

4 By measuring barometric coefficient we can estimate portion of neutrons originated from radon

5 The method Pulse shape digitizing En-detector n (neutrons) housing PMT scintillator FADC PC Open detector: no moderator noise ( charged ) Both types of signals are stored and analyzed charged pulses include decays of radon chain in air, mostly Bi-214 and Pb-214 while neutrons mostly come from soil, walls, roof, etc. Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

6 Geophysical researches with thermal neutrons Moon tidal waves Neutrons in thunderstorms Seasonal variations Barometric pumping effect for neutrons Earth free oscillations in neutrons, Forbush effect, etc. Earthquakes 6

7 Global net of the thermal neutron en-detectors Detectors are located now at five sites, 3 different geographic points: surface underground 1. N-BNO (Baksan, 1700 m a.s.l., 43E, 43N) Neutron (Moscow, 170 m a.s.l., 37E, 56N) 4 (MEPhI) 1 (INR) 3. PRISMA-YBJ (Tibet, 4300m a.s.l., 90E, 30N) 4 (ARGO hall) now PRISMA-TU (Tibet University, Lhasa, 3750 m a.s.l.) 4 Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

8 Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul, 2018 PRISMA PRISMA-YBJ prototype ( )

Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

12 Diurnal wave S1 in ARGO hall: neutrons and charged anti-correlate? S1 PRISMA-YBJ n/<n> S1 in n S1 in charged (n norm +ch norm )/ T, h Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

13 Map of Nepal earthquakes localization in April-May 2015 and in October Circles show the earthquakes, star shows Yangbajing Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

14 Himalaya geology map Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

15 Response of en-detectors to Nepal earthquakes in April-May M7.8 M6.7 Nepal EQ'April-2015 (n & ch) M7.3 n / <n> n (8h smoothing) "charged" (8h smoothing) Epicenter distance is at ( ) km days since Ap. 21, Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

16 Specific parameter Σ=n norm +charged norm -2 was introduced to emphasize the en-detector response 0.12 EQ Nepal: n norm +ch norm EQ n norm + charged norm days since Ap. 21, Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

17 1.5 year later: Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

18 Distributions on the Σ parameter for d1 & d4 over 3.5 years. Histograms - experimental data; smoothed curves - Gauss fits. Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

19 Diurnal waves in thermal EQ days Nepal EQs M4.6 M M6.7 M7.8 M7.3 M6.7 n / <n> M n Therefore, we saw Local effects time in diurnal T, h wave phase and not in direct current Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

20 Date Signal in d1, σ Signal in d4, σ Event Comment ? not understood : Nepal M=7.8; : Nepal M=6.7 3 huge EQs with 0.5 and ~25 hours between them and many aftershocks Nepal M=7.3 & huge EQs with ~0.5 hour between them ? not understood Magnetic storm, Kp=7 Powerful magnetic storm : Nepal M= : Nepal M=4.1 2 EQs with ~24 hours between them Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

21 Radon meter response (in ARGO hall) M7.8 M6.7 M6.7 North Rn, Bq/m days from Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

22 Distribution of radon data peaks in 3h time series measured by a radon meter. Histograms - experimental data; smoothed curves Gauss fit. Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,

23 A puzzle of possible far detector response: Baksan underground en-detector (850 m w.e.) ~4000 km from epicenter M7.8, Nepal n<n> Local time, h n Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul, 2018

24 Conclusion - We do see response of en-detectors to some Eqs - The effect depends on the region geology and probably on the EQ aftershocks appearence time - A Global net of such arrays are needed to learn more about correlations between Eqs and the en-detector response - Even far detectors are probably have some response Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul, 2018

25 Future plans (summary) The PRISMA-LHAASO project will include geophysical researches For this purpose are envisaged: 1. Additional outputs with large pulse integration (long charge collection) from each en-detector for ¼ of clusters 2. Special FADCs for variations study 3. Continuous monitoring of neutron background with a precise accuracy 4. The array will be included in our global net of en-detectors 5. Special attention will be paid to Solar-Earth connections phenomena (space weather) and possibility to monitor seismic activity for better understanding correlations between EQs and environmental thermal neutrons flux 6. Pure variational array of 4 en-detectors (PRISMA-TU) is deployed in 2017 at Tibet Univ. Yu. Stenkin, 35RCRC+25ECRS, Barnaul,
