Abstract
The individual detection of antineutrinos has been discussed for the 0.1–1 MeV region. A practical possibility is offered by the antineutrino-inducedK-capture. With this method it seems possible to measure the total quantity of different radioactive elements in the Earth. The number of40K atoms may be obtained e.g. by counting the antineutrino-inducedK-captures on the otherwise stable112Sn atoms.
Резюме
Обсуждён вопрос индивидуальной регистрации антинейтрино в районе 0,1–1 Мэв.
Вынужденный захват К-электрона, вызванный антинейтрино, предлагает практически осушествимую возможность. Помоши етога измерение поного количества различных радиоактивных элементов в Земли кажется возможным.
Например число атомов40К может быть получено путем счёта вызванных антинейтрино К-захватов стабильного ядра112Sn.
