Gallium experiments with artificial neutrino sources as a tool for investigation of transition to sterile states
arXiv:1006.2103
Abstract
We propose to place a very intense source of 51Cr at the center of a 50-tonne target of gallium metal that is divided into two concentric spherical zones and to measure the neutrino capture rate in each zone. This experiment can set limits on transitions from active to sterile neutrinos with Delta m^2 ~ 1 eV^2 with a sensitivity to disappearance of electron neutrinos of a few percent.
