Lead Perchlorate as a Neutrino Detection Medium
نویسنده
چکیده
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 perchlorate solutions are also presented.

Neutrino 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 کاملNuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus DIS
We explain the current status of nuclear parton distribution functions in connection with neutrino-nucleus interactions. Neutrino deep inelastic scattering (DIS) measurements have been done for heavy nuclear targets such as iron and lead. In order to extract structure functions of the nucleon, one needs to remove nuclear effects from the data. However, recent studies indicate that there are inc...

The extraction of Gadolinium (Gd) from perchlorate and nitrate media in 1,2-dichloroethane(C2H4Cl2), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and chloroform (CHCl3) by mixtures of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and a crown ether benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) is investigated.The composition of the extracted species is determined as Gd(TTA)3.nB15C5 (n=1 in nitratemedium and n=2 in perchlorate medium). The values...
متن کاملHighly Selective Perchlorate Membrane Electrode Based on Synthesized Schiff Base Complex
In this work we introduce a practical use of synthesized Schiff base metal complex in sensing application. A new perchlorate-selective electrode based on the complex N, N'-4-nitro-phenylmethanebis-(salicylaldiminato) copper (II) [CuL] as the membrane carrier was developed. The electrode exhibits a good Nernstian slope of -55.0 ± 1.0 mV/decade and a linear range of for perchlorate. The lim...

Background and Objectives: Perchlorate, as an emerging contaminant, has attracted notice of the most individuals and organizations. Presence of perchlorate in the human body can lead to inappropriate regulation of metabolism in adults. Moreover, due to inhibition of iodide uptake in the thyroid gland, it causes neurological and behavioral problems in infants and children. United States Environm...
