    • Search for a Light Sterile Neutrino at Daya Bay 

      Kebwaro, Jeremiah Monari (PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 2014-07)
      A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay ReactorAntineutrinoExperiment. Theexperiment’suniqueconfigurationofmultiplebaselinesfromsix2.9GWth nuclear reactors ...

    • Independent Measurement of θ13 via Neutron Capture on Hydrogen at Daya Bay 

      Kebwaro, Jeremiah Monari (Physical Review, 2014)
      A new measurement of the θ13 mixing angle has been obtained at the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment via the detection of inverse beta decays tagged by neutron capture on hydrogen. The antineutrino events for hydrogen ...

    • Radiometric assessment of natural radioactivity levels around Mrima Hill, Kenya 

      Kebwaro, Jeremiah Monari; Rathore, I.V.S.; Hashim, N.O.; Mustapha, A.O. (International Journal of the Physical Sciences, 2011-07)
      Mrima Hill, located in the South coast of Kenya is known for high natural background radiation, due to the presence of radiogenic heavy minerals such as monazites and carbonatites. The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th ...

    • Evaluation of permutite for removal of radiocobalt from nuclear wastewater 

      Zhao, Xianghai; Luo, Yong; He, Chaohui; Zong, Pengfei; Zhang, Kai; Kebwaro, Jeremiah Monari; Li, Kui; Fu, Baofeng; Zhao, Yaolin (Journal of Radioanal Nucl Chem, 2014-07)
      A synthetic zeolite, commercially available as permutite was tested for removing radiocobalt from aque- ous solutions by sorption. The sorption process was studied as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength and solid ...
