Shielding and detection system for the gallium solar neutrino experiment

Creators

Description

For shielding the proportional counters of the Ga-solar-neutrino experiment against external gamma rays, a steel tank designed for holding 16.2 metric tons of mercury has been constructed. Cosmic ray muons are vetoed by a welltype NaI (Tl) crystal and by plastic scintillators, respectively. All materials used for the tank and the detectors have been selected for lowest possible contamination level. (orig.)
