Chopper for Neutrinos and Antineutrinos

Abstract

A new approach to weak interaction physics employs detectors which are nearly perfect single crystals, with high Debye temperatures. Total scattering cross sections are proportional to the square of the total number of quarks. Available sources of antineutrinos exert macroscopic forces on such crystals as a result of elastic scattering. In this paper a chopper is described for modulating the antineutrino forces, in order to excite normal modes of elastic solids. Experiments are reported. (jhd)
