Neutrino detector. Progress report
Several prototype target counters and a veto tank have been built. The entire veto house has been designed. The electronic system has been planned and partially implemented. A PDP 11/40 is being adapted and programmed for CAMAC. All fundamental technical problems associated with the above mentioned tasks are resolved. For example, a neutron rejection in the target counter by a factor > 100 has been achieved. The most serious problem encountered in estimating background, accidentals and fake events, are the neutrons from cosmic rays. Other problems include the mechanical aspects of mounting and demounting the veto house as well as the shielding assembly and mobility of the entire detector system.
