Abstract:
A new direction in the liquid-argon neutrino detector technology is to extend the sensitivities of these experiments to the MeV energy range - expanding the physics region of interest of these next-generation detectors to include solar neutrinos.
The goal is to observe solar neutrinos in a kton-scale detector and to demonstrate that the required background suppression and energy resolution can be achieved leading to a precise measurement of the 8-B flux and solar neutrino mixing parameters.
We present the photon, neutron and proton spectra obtained in the interaction of 8-B neutrinos with LAr and we discuss the radioactive background that has to be taken into account in order to correctly identify these events.
