It focuses on lorandite ore, a mineral that has recorded solar neutrino interactions over a staggering four million years. When solar neutrinos collide with thallium atoms in lorandite ...

Neutrinos produced in our sun interact with thallium (Tl) atoms, present in the lorandite mineral (TlAsS 2), and convert them into lead (Pb) atoms.The isotope 205 Pb is particularly interesting ...

Finding answers to this is the goal of the LORandite EXperiment (LOREX) that requires a precise knowledge of the solar neutrino cross section on thallium. This information has now been provided by ...
