Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +66
Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the dama…
Development of New Tracking Detector with Fine-grained Nuclear Emulsion for sub-MeV Neutron Measurement
