Lead Perchlorate as a Neutrino Detection Medium
Lead can be an ideal medium for the detection and study of neutrinos. Such a detector may be realized through the use of a lead perchlorate (Pb(ClO4)2 ) solution as a Cerenkov radiator. The basic physical properties of lead perchlorate solution are given and preparation of the solution for use in a Cerenkov detector is described. Results from investigations of light transmission in lead perchlo...
متن کاملNeutrino Detection Using Lead Perchlorate
νx + 208 Pb ⇒ Pb + ν ′ x (NC) ⇓ Pb+ xγ + yn The number of neutrons emitted (0, 1, or 2) depends on the neutrino energy and whether the interaction is via the charged current (CC) or neutral current (NC). The nuclear physics of this system is described in Ref. [4]. A lead-based neutrino detector must have an appreciable density of Pb atoms and the capability of detecting the electrons, gammas an...
متن کاملObserving Nucleon Decay in Lead Perchlorate
Studies of nucleon decay (see, e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) are among the most important in physics, in that they provide direct tests of fundamental theories of particle physics. The different particle theories make rather different predictions as to what the nucleon decay half-lives might be, and even which decay modes would be expected to dominate. Although a number of searches for nucleon decay h...
متن کاملNeutrino Conversions in a Polarized Medium
Electron polarization induced by magnetic fields can modify the potentials relevant for describing neutrino conversions in media with magnetic fields. The magnitudes of polarization potentials are determined for different conditions. We show that variations of the electron polarization along the neutrino trajectory can induce resonant conversions in the active-sterile neutrino system, but canno...
متن کاملNeutrino Propagation in a Strongly Magnetized Medium
We derive general expressions at the one-loop level for the coefficients of the covariant structure of the neutrino self-energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field. The neutrino energy spectrum and index of refraction are obtained for neutral and charged media in the strong-field limit (MW ≫ √ B ≫ me, T, μ, |p|) using the lowest Landau level approximation. The results found within the ...
