Salty Water Cerenkov Detectors

The addition of certain solutes to a water Cerenkov detector will introduce new charge-current channels for the detection of $ν_e$s. The experimental conditions necessary to exploit such signals - large volumes and very low backgrounds - should be reached for the first time in SuperKamiokande and SNO. I compare some of the more attractive possibilities ($^7$Li, $^{11}$B, $^{35}$Cl) in terms of counting rate, reliability of the cross section, specificity of signal, and potential for distinguishing competing solutions to the solar neutrino puzzle.

Large-basis shell model studies of light nuclei with a multi-valued G-matrix effective interaction

Large-basis shell model studies of low-lying excitations in light nuclei from 4He to 7Li have been performed with a multi-valued G-matrix effective interaction, as recently suggested by Haxton et al.. Calculations were performed relative to the vacuum (``no core") using very large, separable model spaces containing all excitations with unperturbed energies up to 8\hbarΩ. Using G matrices derived from a new Nijmegen potential, we achieve a very satisfactory description of these excitations.
