Speaker

Frank Calaprice (Princeton University)

Description

The detection of rare solar neutrino signals in deep underground laboratories has confronted background challenges for more than 50 years beginning with the famous Chlorine experiment. In this talk I will review the successful background strategies employed for solar neutrino measurements, up to the present, and will summarize related strategies for background suppression for direct detection searches for dark matter particles and for neutrino-less double beta decay.
