Impairments on the Construction of a Cosmic Neutrino Detector in a Romanian Salt Mine

Natural Sciences
Indirect cosmic neutrino detectors utilize dense media to enhance the likelihood of neutrino interactions within the detection volume. Salt domes have been considered a potential candidate for such a detector, and this work investigates the feasibility ...

Invisible Labor and the "Ghost Particle": Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields. [PDF]

Ber Wiss
Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Detecting the upturn of the solar 8B neutrino spectrum with LENA

Physics Letters B, 2014
LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next generation 50 kt liquid scintillator detector. The large target mass allows a high precision measurement of the solar 8B neutrino spectrum, with an unprecedented energy threshold of 2 MeV ...

Methods for a time-dependent neutrino flare search with the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Neutrino astronomy has made significant progress over the last decade, with the discovery of the first cosmic neutrino sources, though unambigous identification remains challenging.

On the Goals of Neutrino Astronomy

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 2009
What do we mean by neutrino astronomy? Which information is it able to provide us and which is its potential? To address these questions, we discuss three among the most relevant sources of neutrinos: the Sun; the core collapse supernovae; the supernova remnants.

Neutrino Astronomy with MACRO

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2002
High energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources can be detected as upward-going muons produced in charged-current interactions with the matter surrounding the detector. We present the results of a search for either a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux or a point-like source of neutrinos in the sample of upward-going muons gathered by MACRO.

Another way of looking at the sky: Neutrino telescopes

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2017
Neutrinos are weakly-interacting neutral particles, which makes them powerful sources of information about the most energetic processes in the universe, such as the origin of ultra-energetic cosmic rays or gamma-ray bursts.

Understanding and visualizing the statistical analysis of SN1987A neutrino data

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
The SN1987A detection through neutrinos was an event of great importance in neutrino physics, being the first detection of neutrinos created outside our solar system, and then inaugurating the era of experimental neutrino astronomy.

Neutrino astronomy: An update [PDF]

Astroparticle Physics, 2012
AbstractDetecting neutrinos associated with the still enigmatic sources of cosmic rays has reached a new watershed with the completion of IceCube, the first detector with sensitivity to the anticipated fluxes. In this review, we will briefly revisit the rationale for constructing kilometer-scale neutrino detectors and summarize the status of the field.
