论文摘要
在本文中,我们讨论了延长中微子来源的前景,即解决其角度中微子的光度分布。这是具有挑战性的,因为无法直接测量中微子方向,而只能从与检测器材料相互作用的带电粒子的方向进行估计。这导致了内在的模糊效果。我们首先以一般术语讨论问题,然后将我们的见解应用于太阳中微子用电子弹性散射。尽管上述模糊,我们还显示了如何重建原始中微子分布的高统计和精度。
In this paper we discuss the prospects to take a picture of an extended neutrino source, i.e., resolving its angular neutrino luminosity distribution. This is challenging since neutrino directions cannot be directly measured but only estimated from the directions of charged particles they interact with in the detector material. This leads to an intrinsic blurring effect. We first discuss the problem in general terms and then apply our insights to solar neutrinos scattering elastically with electrons. Despite the aforementioned blurring we show how with high statistics and precision the original neutrino distributions could be reconstructed.
