Description

Neutrino sources are numerous and varied; the sun, a supernova explosion, the cosmic radiation interaction with interstellar medium are neutrino or antineutrino sources. The aim of this article is to overview the international projects of neutrino detection while giving the preference to the experimental side of the detection

Abstract (French)

Les sources de neutrinos sont nombreuses et variees; le soleil, l'explosion d'une supernova, les interactions des rayons cosmiques avec le milieu interstellaire sont autant de sources de neutrinos ou d'anti-neutrinos. La terre est elle-meme une source d'antineutrinos, de meme que les centrales nucleaires. Cet article se propose de faire le point sur les projets internationaux de detection des neutrinos en privilegiant toutefois l'aspect experimental de la detection
