Optical Scattering Lengths in Large Liquid-Scintillator Neutrino Detectors
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +12
For liquid-scintillator neutrino detectors of kiloton scale, the transparency of the organic solvent is of central importance. The present paper reports on laboratory measurements…
Spectroscopy of Solar Neutrinos
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +9
In the last years, liquid-scintillator detectors have opened a new window for the observation of low-energetic astrophysical neutrino sources. In 2007, the solar neutrino experimen…
Results from the Borexino Experiment
Timo Lewke
Borexino is a low threshold liquid-scintillator detector for solar neutrinos located in the LNGS underground laboratory, Italy. Because of the ultra-high radio purity it is the fir…
The next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, John F. Beacom, Leonid B. Bezrukov +74
We propose the liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) as a next-generation neutrino observatory on the scale of 50 kt. The outstanding successes of the B…
Search for modulations of the solar Be-7 flux in the next-generation neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, Barbara Caccianiga, Davide D'Angelo +16
A next-generation liquid-scintillator detector will be able to perform high-statistics measurements of the solar neutrino flux. In LENA, solar Be-7 neutrinos are expected to cause…
The Physics Potential of the LENA Detector
Michael Wurm, Franz von Feilitzsch, Marianne Goeger-Neff +9
The large-volume liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next-generation experiment for low-energy neutrinos. High-precision spectr…
