Solar Neutrinos: Some Current Experiments

• Super Kamiokande uses water

• Sudbury Neutrino Observatory uses Heavy Water (HDO, D2O) more neutrons

  • n+n → p+ + e- or p- + e+

• GALLEX/GNO uses Gallium:

  • Solar neutrino flux varies with a period related to rotation rate of earth (GALLEX/GNO)

• AMANDA places detectors deep in Antarctic ice
