abstract = {Large-scale organic liquid scintillator detectors are
highly efficient in the detection of MeV-scale electron
antineutrinos. These signal events can be detected through
inverse beta decay on protons, which produce a positron
accompanied by a neutron. A noteworthy background for
antineutrinos coming from nuclear power reactors and from
the depths of the Earth (geoneutrinos) is generated by
($\alpha,\,n$) reactions. In organic liquid scintillator
detectors, $\alpha$ particles emitted from intrinsic
contaminants such as $^{238}$U, $^{232}$Th, and
$^{210}$Pb/$^{210}$Po, can be captured on $^{13}$C nuclei,
followed by the emission of a MeV-scale neutron. Three
distinct interaction mechanisms can produce prompt energy
depositions preceding the delayed neutron capture, leading
to a pair of events correlated in space and time within the
detector. Thus, ($\alpha,\,n$) reactions represent an
indistinguishable background in liquid scintillator-based
antineutrino detectors, where their expected rate and energy
spectrum are typically evaluated via Monte Carlo
simulations. This work presents results from the open-source
SaG4n software, used to calculate the expected energy
depositions from the neutron and any associated
de-excitation products. Also simulated is a detailed
detector response to these interactions, using a dedicated
Geant4-based simulation software from the JUNO experiment.
An expected measurable $^{13}$C$(\alpha,\, n)^{16}$O event
rate and reconstructed prompt energy spectrum with
associated uncertainties, are presented in the context of
JUNO, however, the methods and results are applicable and
relevant to other organic liquid scintillator neutrino
detectors.},
