OSTI ID:6224992
The objectives of the DUMAND project (Deep Underwater Muon And Neutrino Detector) in high-energy physics, especially with regard to the weak interaction are reviewed and summarized in the light of recent work reported to the 1978 DUMAND Summer Workshop. Detailed Monte-Carlo studies are under way to determine the precision with which muon energy and nuclear cascade energy can be determined. These are relevant to the capability of the detector for measuring the y-distribution in neutrino-nucleon inelastic scattering in the energy range 2--50 TeV. Such measurements are expected to show the existence of the propagator factor provided there exists a charged boson in the mass range 30--100 GeV/c/sup 2/. Other aims of DUMAND are briefly described (excluding extraterrestrial neutrino detection, treated elsewhere).
