A new solar neutrino detector

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1993
Abstract This paper describes the main features of the proposed low energy solar neutrino detector Borexino, planned to be installed at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. This real time detector is based on a massive, calorimetric, liquid scintillation spectroscopy technique, whose high luminosity is the base for the attempt to achieve a low signal detection

The Bugey 3 neutrino detector

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1996
Abstract The Bugey 3 experiment, designed to measure oscillations of reactor neutrinos, has used 3 identical detection modules, each of 600 liters, filled with a new 6 Li-loaded liquid scintillator. These modules were located in two shielding bunkers, respectively 15 and 40 m away from the reactor core.

The Homestake Neutrino Detector

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2012
Abstract Neutrino mass ordering, mixing, and potential for CP violation are some of the most important questions facing particle physics today. To address them, a Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) is being planned using a 700 kw beam that would be directed from Fermilab to an underground site in Lead, South Dakota – a baseline of 1300 km.

Calibration of the solar neutrino detectors

The European Physical Journal A, 2016
Calibrations have been crucial for the success of solar neutrino experiments. In this contribution we review the calibration strategies adopted by different solar neutrino experiments. In particular, we will emphasize their common critical aspects and their main differences. In order to do so, we will schematically divide the solar neutrino experiments

Salt neutrino detector for ultrahigh-energy neutrinos

Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2004
Rock salt and limestone are studied to determine their suitability for use as a radio-wave transmission medium in an ultrahigh energy (UHE) cosmic neutrino detector. A sensible radio wave would be emitted by the coherent Cherenkov radiation from negative excess charges inside an electromagnetic shower upon interaction of a UHE neutrino in a high ...

Solar flares and neutrino detectors

Physical Review Letters, 1988
Solar flares have been suggested as the cause of occasional high counting rates in the $^{37}\mathrm{Cl}$ solar-neutrino experiment. The sensitivity of neutrino detectors to flares is evaluated. Several neutrino detectors will show large signals when prominent flares are observed electromagnetically, if flares are detected in the chlorine experiment.

Dumand: The Ocean as a Neutrino Detector

1977
We consider the possibility of using the ocean as a neutrino detector; neutrino-produced interactions result in charged particles that generate Cerenkov radiation in the water, which can be detected by light-gathering equipment and photomultipliers. The properties of the ocean as seen from this standpoint are critically examined, and the advantages and

Superconducting Detectors for Neutrino Mass Measurement

IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 2016
Assessing the absolute neutrino mass scale is one of the major challenges in particle physics and astrophysics nowadays. A powerful tool to directly estimate the effective electron neutrino mass consists in the calorimetric measurement of the energy released within a nuclear beta decay.

Underwater Neutrino Detectors

2001
Due to their weak interaction with matter and to the absence of their interaction with the electro-magnetic radiations, neutrinos can travel in the Universe without being absorbed. This is not the case for photons which interact with matter, with the infra-red (IR) radiation and with the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
