Neutrino physics with an opaque detector [PDF]

Communications Physics, 2021
AbstractIn 1956 Reines & Cowan discovered the neutrino using a liquid scintillator detector. The neutrinos interacted with the scintillator, producing light that propagated across transparent volumes to surrounding photo-sensors. This approach has remained one of the most widespread and successful neutrino detection technologies used since.

Neutrino Astronomy with the MACRO Detector [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
High energy gamma ray astronomy is now a well established field and several sources have been discovered in the region from a few GeV up to several TeV. If sources involving hadronic processes exist, the production of photons would be accompanied by neutrinos too.

Double neutrino production and detection in neutrino detectors [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2013
Large, high-energy ($E>100$ GeV) cosmic neutrino telescopes are now quite mature. IceCube, for example, observes about 50,000 well-reconstructed single atmospheric neutrino events/year, with energies above 100 GeV. Although the neutrino detection probability is small, current detectors are large enough so that it is possible to detect two neutrinos ...

Theia: an advanced optical neutrino detector [PDF]

The European Physical Journal C, 2020
AbstractNew developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic photon sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector that can discriminate between Cherenkov and scintillation signals.

A relic neutrino detector [PDF]

Second international workshop on particle physics and the early universe (COSMO-98), 1999
Probably the most promising way of detecting cosmic neutrinos is measuring the mechanical force exerted by elastic scattering of cosmic neutrinos from macroscopic targets. The expected acceleration is $\sim 10^{-23} cm/s^2$ for Dirac neutrinos of mass $\sim 10 eV$ and local density $\sim 10^7/ cm^3$. A novel torsion balance design is presented.

A xenon solar neutrino detector [PDF]

Astroparticle Physics, 1997
The neutrino capture by $^{131}$Xe with a threshold at 352 keV as reaction to detect solar neutrinos is examined. The most important feature of this process is its high sensitivity to beryllium neutrinos, which contribute approximately 40% to the total capture rate (45 SNU) assuming the fluxes predicted by the Standard Solar Model.

The liquid scintillator neutrino detector and LAMPF neutrino source [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1997
A search for neutrino oscillations of the type nu_bar_mu to nu_bar_e has been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility using nu_bar_mu from muon decay at rest. Evidence for this transition has been reported previously. This paper discusses in detail the experimental setup, detector operation and neutrino source, including aspects relevant to ...

A detector for the study of neutrino-electron scattering [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1989
Abstract The CHARM II Collaboration has built a massive, fine-grained and low-density detector for the study of muon-neutrino and muon-antineutrino scattering on electrons. The detector consists of a target calorimeter of 692 t of glass followed by a magnetic spectrometer. The calorimeter is used to detect the different types of neutrino interactions,

High-rate neutrino detectors for neutrino factories [PDF]

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2000
Three types of high rate neutrino detectors for neutrino interaction physics at neutrino factories are discussed. High performance general-purpose detectors might collect event samples on the order of a billion events or more. This could greatly improve on existing analyses of neutrino interactions and also lead to new and important analysis topics ...

Neutrino trident scattering at near detectors [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Abstract Neutrino trident scattering is a rare Standard Model process where a charged-lepton pair is produced in neutrino-nucleus scattering. To date, only the dimuon final-state has been observed, with around 100 total events, while the other channels are as yet unexplored.
