Spectroscopy of Low Energy Neutrinos from the Sun
نویسنده
چکیده
Two methods are discussed for the solar neutrino spectroscopy in the sub-MeV region: absorption in a loaded liquid scintillator and elastic scattering in a TPC. The different neutrino oscillation solutions predict a strong effect in this energy region where the largest fraction (∼98%) of solar neutrinos lies. Both projects have reached the stage where they have to prove their capability to attain a background low enough for solar neutrino detection.

Grapes and grape-derived products have worldwide importance due to its consumption by human, however, they may also be used for ruminant feeding when their price or quality is low. The objectives of current study were to determine the nutritive value, in terms of chemical composition, in vitro rumen gas production kinetics and predicted nutrient supply, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic ...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos using CdTe detectors
The usage of a large amount of CdTe(CdZnTe) semiconductor detectors for solar neutrino spectroscopy in the low energy region is investigated. Several different coincidence signals can be formed on five different isotopes to measure the Be neutrino line at 862 keV in real-time. The most promising one is the usage of Cd resulting in 89 SNU. The presence of Te permits even the real-time detection ...

Four operating neutrino observatories confirm the long standing discrepancy between detected and predicted solar neutrino flux. Among these four experiments the Homestake experiment is taking data for almost 25 years. The reliability of the radiochemical method for detecting solar neutrinos has been tested recently by the GALLEX experiment. All efforts to solve the solar neutrino problem by imp...
متن کاملLow-energy Anti-neutrinos from the Sun
We consider the sensitivity of future neutrino experiments in the low energy region, such as BOREXINO or HELLAZ, to a solar ν̄e signal. We show that, if neutrino conversions within the Sun result in partial polarization of initial solar neutrino fluxes, then a new opportunity arises to observe the ν̄e’s and thus to probe the Majorana nature of the neutrinos. This is achieved by comparing the slop...
متن کاملNeutrino tomography Learning about the Earth ’ s interior using the propagation of neutrinos
Because the propagation of neutrinos is affected by the presence of Earth matter, it opens new possibilities to probe the Earth’s interior. Different approaches range from techniques based upon the interaction of high energy (above TeV) neutrinos with Earth matter, to methods using the MSW effect on the neutrino oscillations of low energy (MeV to GeV) neutrinos. In principle, neutrinos from man...
