Salty Water Cerenkov Detectors
Abstract
The addition of certain solutes to a water Cerenkov detector will introduce new charge-current channels for the detection of es. The experimental conditions necessary to exploit such signals - large volumes and very low backgrounds - should be reached for the first time in SuperKamiokande and SNO. I compare some of the more attractive possibilities (7Li, 11B, 35Cl) in terms of counting rate, reliability of the cross section, specificity of signal, and potential for distinguishing competing solutions to the solar neutrino puzzle.
