Experiment on neutrino oscillations and stability /The BATISS experiment/

The paper examines various aspects of the design of an underwater Cerenkov counter with a volume of 1,000,000 cu m for the detection of neutrinos generated during solar proton flares, as well as those generated from an accelerator. Some of the objectives of the experiment are the direct measurement of neutrino fluxes at large distances from the source, verification of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis at times of 0.03 sec and 8 min, search for neutrinos with a mass much greater than 10 GeV, and the direct measurement of distances between two points on the earth's sphere from time-of-flight data. The elements of the experimental setup are described.
