Analytical/Experimental Investigation of Corpuscular Radiation Detectors
Abstract
The following approaches were investigated, to various degrees, with the aim of identifying methods for the etection of low-energy neutrinos' are promising enough to deserve an experimental verification: (1) Cryogenic sensor of neutrinos' radiation pressure; (2) Magnetic interaction sensor; (3) Superheated Superconducting Colloid (SSC) Calorimeter; (4) sensor of the neutrino interaction with superconducting electrons; and (5) Bolometric sensor with silicon interaction target. Approaches 1, 2, and 3 were found deserving of experimental verification, but project funding limited continuing effort to approaches 1 and 2. Furthermore, DARPA added another task to the project, and this action further limited funding for the remaining approaches 1 and 2. The added task consisted of Ratheon verification of Prof. Weber's claim that he has detected ion-energy neutrinos with room-temperature instrumentation. Keywords: Submarine signal.
