Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detection Status and Plans

Abstract

DUMAND, the acronym for deep underwater muon and neutrino detection, is a project started by a group of U.S. physicists to produce a detector large enough to detect a significant rate of very high-energy natural neutrinos. This project will permit the study of elementary particle interactions in cosmic rays at energies beyond those available from contemplated future particle accelerators. It may also allow the observation of extraterrestrial and possibly extragalactic sources of neutrinos. Keywords: Underwater equipment; Muon/Neutrino detectors.
