A Xenon Solar Neutrino Detector

Abstract

The neutrino capture by ${}^{131}$Xe with a threshold at 352 keV as reaction to detect solar neutrinos is examined. The most important feature of this process is its high sensitivity to beryllium neutrinos, which contribute approximately 40% to the total capture rate (45 SNU) assuming the fluxes predicted by the Standard Solar Model.
