论文摘要
我们提出了RES-NOVA项目,该项目将使用一系列基于考古铅(PB)的低温探测器,通过连贯的弹性中微子核散射(CE $ν$ ns)从核心折叠超新星(SN)捕捉中微子。高CE $ν$ ns横截面在PB上和考古PB的超高辐射性,使高统计学实验的运行能够对所有中微子口味同样敏感,而与现有的中微子观测值相比,探测器尺寸降低,并且与现有的中微子观测值降低,并且易于伸缩性可伸缩到较大的检测器量。 Res-Nova计划根据三个阶段进行操作,其探测器量增加:(60厘米)$^3 $,(140 cm)$^3 $,最终是15 $ \ times $(140 cm)$^3 $。它将对SN爆发,并具有5 $σ$敏感性,并具有已经存在的技术,并且具有出色的能量分辨率,并具有$ 1 $ KEV阈值的出色能源分辨率。在我们的银河系中,即使在RES-Nova的第一阶段,也可以区分核心 - 循环SNE与黑洞形成的崩溃,也没有歧义。在最终检测器阶段,所有口味的平均中微子能量,SN中微子光曲线和中微子发出的总能量可能会受到$ \%$的限制。 Res-Nova将对来自散布的SN中微子背景的风味盲中微子敏感,售价为$ 620 $ ton $ \ cdot $ y。拟议的Res-Nova项目有可能为新一代中微子望远镜奠定基础,同时依靠非常简单的技术设置
We propose the RES-NOVA project which will hunt neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae (SN) via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ν$NS) using an array of archaeological lead (Pb) based cryogenic detectors. The high CE$ν$NS cross-section on Pb and the ultra-high radiopurity of archaeological Pb enable the operation of a high statistics experiment equally sensitive to all neutrino flavors with reduced detector dimensions in comparison with existing Neutrino Observatories, and easy scalability to larger detector volumes. RES-NOVA is planned to operate according to three phases with increasing detector volumes: (60 cm)$^3$, (140 cm)$^3$, and ultimately 15$\times$(140 cm)$^3$. It will be sensitive to SN bursts up to Andromeda with 5$σ$ sensitivity with already existing technologies and will have excellent energy resolution with $1$ keV threshold. Within our Galaxy, it will be possible to discriminate core-collapse SNe from black hole forming collapses with no ambiguity even in the first phase of RES-NOVA. The average neutrino energy of all flavors, the SN neutrino light curve, and the total energy emitted in neutrinos can potentially be constrained with a precision of few $\%$ in the final detector phase. RES-NOVA will be sensitive to flavor-blind neutrinos from the diffuse SN neutrino background with an exposure of $620$ ton $\cdot$ y. The proposed RES-NOVA project has the potential to lay down the foundations for a new generation of neutrino telescopes, while relying on a very simple technological setup
