Paleodetectors for Galactic supernova neutrinos
Paleodetectors for Galactic supernova neutrinos
Paleodetectors are a proposed experimental technique in which one would search for traces of recoiling nuclei in ancient minerals. Natural minerals on Earth are as old as $\mathcal{O}(1)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{Gyr}$ and, in many minerals, the damage tracks left by recoiling nuclei are also preserved for timescales long compared to 1 …
