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…
Moessbauer antineutrinos: some basic considerations
Walter Potzel
Basic aspects of phononless resonant capture of monoenergetic electron antineutrinos (Moessbauer antineutrinos) emitted in boundstate beta-decay in the 3H - 3He system are consider…
Mössbauer Antineutrinos: Recoilless Resonant Emission and Absorption of Electron Antineutrinos
Walter Potzel
Basic questions concerning phononless resonant capture of monoenergetic electron antineutrinos (Mössbauer antineutrinos) emitted in bound-state beta-decay in the 3H - 3He system a…
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…
Probing the Earth's interior with a large-volume liquid scintillator detector
Kathrin A. Hochmuth, Franz v. Feilitzsch, Brian D. Fields +5
A future large-volume liquid scintillator detector would provide a high-statistics measurement of terrestrial antineutrinos originating from -decays of the uranium and thorium…
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…
Neutrinoless double-beta decay and seesaw mechanism
Samoil M. Bilenky, Amand Faessler, Walter Potzel +1
From the standard seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation, which is based on the assumption that the lepton number is violated at a large (~10exp(+15) GeV) scale, follows that…
Neutrino oscillations and electron-capture storage-ring experiments
Walter Potzel
Oscillations in the electron-capture (EC) decay rate observed in storage-ring experiments are reconsidered in connection with the neutrino mass difference. Taking into account that…
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…
Probing the Earth's interior with the LENA detector
Kathrin A. Hochmuth, Franz v. Feilitzsch, Brian D. Fields +4
A future large-volume liquid scintillator detector such as the proposed 50 kton LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) detector would provide a high-statistics measurement of terrest…
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…
