Low energy neutrino astronomy with the large liquid scintillation detector LENA
The detection of low energy neutrinos in a large scintillation detector may provide further important information on astrophysical processes as supernova physics, solar physics and elementary particle physics as well as geophysics. In this contribution, a new project for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) consisting of a 50 kt scintillation detector is presented. ∗Corresponding authors. Fax: ...
متن کاملHigh - Energy Neutrino Astronomy with the Super - Kamiokande Detector
Presenter: A. Habig ([email protected]), usa-habig-A-abs3-he23-poster The Super-Kamiokande experiment has collected a large sample of high-energy neutrino events. These are primarily atmospheric neutrinos, but a bright enough astrophysical source could also be visible. The data have been examined for possible point and bursting neutrino sources, as well as possible WIMP annihilation signatures. No...
متن کاملProbing the Earth’s Interior with the Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy Detector
Recently a large volume liquid scintillation detector for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) has been proposed. With this experiment it will be possible to measure terrestrial antineutrinos originating from decays of the uranium and thorium chains to a very high precision. Moreover it can be shown that LENA opens up the possibility to measure the angular dependence of the geoneutrino rate wit...
متن کاملA large-scale low-background liquid scintillation detector: the counting test facility at Gran Sasso
A 4.8 m3 unsegmented liquid scintillation detector at the underground Laboratori Nazionali de1 Gran Sasso has shown the feasibility of multi-ton low-background detectors operating to energies as low as 250 keV. Detector construction and the handling of large volumes of liquid scintillator to minimize the background are described. The scintillator, 1.5 g PPO/L-pseudocumene. is held in a flexible...
متن کاملReactor Neutrino Experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector
We discuss several new ideas for reactor neutrino oscillation experiments with a Large Liquid Scintillator Detector. We consider two different scenarios for a measurement of the small mixing angle θ13 with a mobile ν̄e source: a nuclear-powered ship, such as a submarine or an icebreaker, and a land-based scenario with a mobile reactor. The former setup can achieve a sensitivity to sin 2θ13 . 0.0...
