GENIUS: the first real-time detector for solar pp-neutrinos?
نویسنده
چکیده
The GENIUS project is a proposal for a large supersensitive Germanium detector system for WIMP and double beta decay searches with a much increased sensitivity relative to existing and other future experiments. In this paper, the possibility to detect low energy solar neutrinos with GENIUS in real-time through elastic neutrino-electron scattering is studied.

Search for Cold Dark Matter and Solar Neutrinos with GENIUS and GENIUS-TF
The new project GENIUS will cover a wide range of the parameter space of predictions of SUSY for neutralinos as cold dark matter. Further it has the potential to be a real-time detector for low-energy (pp and 7Be) solar neutrinos. A GENIUS Test Facility has just been funded and will come into operation by end of 2002.
متن کاملStatus of Evidence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, and the Future: Genius and Genius-tf
The first evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay has been observed in the HEIDELBERGMOSCOW experiment, which is the most sensitive double beta decay experiment since ten years. This is the first evidence for lepton number violation and proves that the neutrino is a Majorana particle. It further shows that neutrino masses are degenerate. In addition it puts several stringent constraints on ...
متن کاملKr and Ar Background in Genius
GENIUS is a proposal for a large scale detector of rare events like double beta decay, cold dark matter and low-energy solar neutrinos in real time. The idea of GENIUS is to operate a large amount of " naked " Ge detectors in liquid nitrogen, with the aim of reducing the background down to a level of 10 −3 counts/kg keV y. In this work we investigate the contribution to the background of GENIUS...

GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40–400 ’naked’ HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultrapure liquid nitrogen. After a description of performed technical studies of detector operation in liquid nitrogen and of Monte Carlo simulations of expected background components, the potential of GENIUS for detecting WIMP dark matter,...
متن کاملProbing the temperature profile of energy production in the sun.
The particle kinetic energies of thermonuclear pp fusion in the Sun (Gamow energy) produce small changes in the energies of pp solar neutrinos relative to those due only to exothermal energetics. This effect may be observable via the unique tools of the LENS solar neutrino detector. The temperature profile of energy production in the Sun may thus be directly probed for the first time.
