Lead perchlorate as a neutrino detection medium
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Lead can be an ideal medium for the detection and study of neutrinos. Such a detector may be realized through the use of a lead perchlorate (Pb(ClO4)2) solution as a Cherenkov radiator. The basic physical properties of lead perchlorate solution are given and preparation of the solution for use in a Cherenkov detector is described. Results from investigations of light transmission in lead perchlorate solutions are also presented.
