New Method in Elementary Particle Detection

Abstract

Theory is given for momentum transfer to an ensemble of particles by incident neutrinos or antineutrinos, in such a way that subsequent measurements cannot reveal the detailed characteristics of this transfer. It is shown that large scattering cross sections may be obtained, proportional to the square of the number of scatterers. Experiments are described for observations at energies of about 12 kilovolts and in the one million electron volt region.
