9312480 Lande A detector for solar neutrinos will be constructed for siting in a deep underground laboratory relatively free from backgrounds due to cosmic rays. The detector will use 100 tons of iodine as the active medium, from which elemental xenon will be recovered following reactions between the solar neutrinos and iodine nucei. Data from this detector will confront theories of stellar processes as well as setting limits on the properties of neutrinos which have been postulated to explain a deficit in the solar neutrino flux. ***

9312480 Lande将建造一个太阳中微子探测器，安装在一个相对远离宇宙射线背景的地下实验室中。 探测器将使用100吨碘作为活性介质，在太阳中微子与碘核反应后，将从中回收元素氙。 来自这个探测器的数据将面对恒星过程的理论，以及对中微子性质的限制，这些中微子性质被假设为解释太阳中微子通量的不足。 ***
