Gallium Anomaly and the BEST-2 Experiment with a 58Co Source
摘要
Abstract
Calibration experiments with artificial neutrino sources 51Cr and 37Ar in the gallium solar neutrino experiments SAGE and GALLEX showed a neutrino capture rate significantly lower than expected. This result, known as the gallium anomaly, was later confirmed at a significance level of more than 4σ in the BEST experiment on the UNU GGNT with a 51Cr source. For a detailed study of the gallium anomaly, the BEST-2 experiment on a gallium target with an artificial source of 58Co is proposed.
