Particle Physics Experiments and Neutrino Astronomy

这项为期三年的持续资助支持冯 Goeler和东北大学的合作者们在 “大体积探测器”（LVD）地下实验 格兰萨索，在意大利。 这个实验是由一个 在一个深地下设施的国际合作 由意大利政府建造。 实验将 有很多目标。 其中几个目标是：（1）寻找 超新星爆炸产生的中微子;（2）寻找 大气中微子振荡;（3）探测太阳 中微子 这次实验将与以前的实验有些不同 地下中微子实验 该装置将是 对较低能量的中微子敏感，因此能够 来回答基本粒子领域的新问题 物理学和天体物理学。

This three-year continuing grant supports the work of von Goeler and collaborators at Northeastern University on the "Large Volume Detector" (LVD) underground experiment in the Gran Sasso, in Italy. This experiment is operated by an international collaboration in a deep-underground facility constructed by the government of Italy. The experiment will have many goals. Several of the goals are: (1) to search for neutrinos from supernova explosions; (2) to search for oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos; and (3) to detect solar neutrinos. The experiment will be somewhat different from previous underground neutrino experiments. The apparatus will be sensitive to neutrinos of lower energies, and so will be able to answer new questions in the areas of elementary particle physics and astrophysics.
