Proposed geological solar neutrino measurement

Creators

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM

Description

It may be possible to measure the boron-8 solar neutrino flux, averaged over the past several million years, from the concentration of technetium -98 in molybdenum-rich ore. This geochemical experiment could provide the first test of nonstandard solar models that suggest a relation between the chlorine-37 solar neutrino puzzle and the most recent glacial epoch. The necessary conditions for achieving a meaningful measurement are identified and discussed
