DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mathieu Durero (CEA Saclay\, DSM/Irfu)\nThe SOX proj
 ect plans to deploy a radioactive antineutrino source made\nfrom 144 Ceriu
 m at the Borexino detector. It will be produced at PA\nMayak from spent nu
 clear fuel. This source is a key component of the\nexperiment and issues s
 everal challenges due to requirements on\nactivity\, purity and emission f
 lux knowledge for the scientific success\nof the project. Moreover handlin
 g and safety with such radioactive\nmaterial has its own constraints addin
 g to the equation.\n\nThis presentation will focus on the recent developme
 nts concerning\nthe source characterization and the actions taken to obtai
 n a precise\nprediction of the source radioactive emission using 144-Ce sa
 mples.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/2/contributions/373/
