Neutrinos for Interstellar Communication
Abstract
A method of interstellar communication employing neutrinos is presented and a brief history of the discovery of the neutrino is given. Advantages and disadvantages of neutrino communication are discussed emphasizing both the high cost and the difficulty in generating neutrino beams by means of proton beams impinging on targets (steel or aluminum shields) in large accelerators. The deep underwater muon and neutrino detection system is examined as well as a block diagram describing the neutrino communication system.
