LENS: $\mu$LENS Simulations, Analysis, and Results

Simulations of the Low-Energy Neutrino Spectrometer prototype, $\mu$LENS, have been performed in order to benchmark the first measurements of the $\mu$LENS detector at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF). $\mu$LENS is a 6x6x6 celled scintillation lattice filled with Linear Alkylbenzene based scintillator. We have performed simulations of $\mu$LENS using the GEANT4 toolkit. We have measured various radioactive sources, LEDs, and environmental background radiation measurements at KURF using up to 96 PMTs with a simplified data acquisition system of QDCs and TDCs. In this talk we will demonstrate our understanding of the light propagation and we will compare simulation results with measurements of the $\mu$LENS detector of various radioactive sources, LEDs, and the environmental background radiation.
