Spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos using CdTe detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
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 of pp-neutrinos. A possible antineutrino flux above 713 keV might be detected by capture on Cd .

Investigation of Physical Properties of e-Beam Evaporated CdTe Thin Films for Photovoltaic Application
CdTe thin films with 2.8 µm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the films. The results of AFM analysis revealed that the CdTe films have uniform surface. CdTe thin films were heat-treated by SnCl2 solution. Structural analysis using XRD s...
متن کاملTowards low-threshold, real-time solar neutrino detectors
We discuss an alternative approach to the detection of solar neutrinos using a coarsely segmented detector based on inverse-beta decay onto 160Gd or 176Yb. While it is known that similar approaches, already discussed in the literature, can in principle provide low-threshold, real-time energy spectroscopy with intrinsic background rejection features, the concepts presented here make this scheme ...

We study the sensitivity of large-scale xenon detectors to low-energy solar neutrinos, to coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering and to neutrinoless double beta decay. As a concrete example, we consider the xenon part of the proposed DARWIN (Dark Matter WIMP Search with Noble Liquids) experiment. We perform detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the expected backgrounds, considering realistic energy...
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Physics with Super-Kamiokande
Precise studies of solar B neutrinos provided the first evidence that the deficit in the solar neutrino flux observed by various detectors compared to the predictions of solar models is caused by flavor oscillations of solar neutrinos and also determined the oscillation parameters. These parameters predict a transition at around 3 Mev between the vacuum oscillations of low energy to the matter-...

If neutrino conversions within the Sun result in partial polarization of initial solar neutrino fluxes then a new opportunity to distinguish Majorana and Dirac neutrinos by measuring the differential ν e e-scattering cross section in solar neutrino detectors arises. The experiment like HELLAZ would be preferable in testing of recoil electron spectra differences initiated by Majorana and Dirac n...
