Single Atom Extraction and Classification with a Hybrid Solar Neutrino Detector
Abstract
We describe an electronically triggered radiochemical detector that can separate the interactions due 8B electron neutrinos from the Sun from those due to 7Be and can distinguish these events from those due to cosmic rays or local radioactivity. In this detector, a set of photomultiplier tubes detects the Cerenkov radiation generated by neutrino interaction secondaries and initiates a fast extraction of the secondary atom from the detector and directs this atom to a specific charcoal storage trap.
