报告摘要：
Since the experimental discovery of neutrinos in 1956, liquid scintillator detectors have played a central role in neutrino physics, often boasting very broad physics programs in a single experiment. Complications arise in constructing these large detectors, since the target scintillation region must be shielded from photomultiplier tubes due to their intrinsic radioactivity. Acrylic or nylon barriers are traditionally used to achieve this; however, their construction becomes increasingly difficult and expensive at the kiloton scale. Radioactivity in the barriers also leads to cuts in the fiducial volume, significantly reducing a detector's target mass. The Stratified Liquid Plane Scintillator detector (SLIPS) represents an alternative geometric construction for the next generation of large-scale liquid scintillator detectors, avoiding physical barriers entirely by instead using layers of lipophobic liquids. A 20-kiloton detector design is presented, demonstrating that SLIPS expects to achieve highly efficient light collection while employing far fewer PMTs than that used in traditional spherical detectors.
