深海声基阵中微子探测、位置标定和海洋科学
Neutrino Detection, Position Calibration and Marine Science with Acoustic Arrays in the Deep Sea
摘要:
声学接收器阵列是目前和未来可能的深海切伦科夫中微子望远镜的一个组成部分。它们测量各个探测器元件的位置,这些位置由于海底海流的影响而随时间变化。同时,声波接收器可用于海洋科学目的,特别是用于监测周围噪声环境和海洋动物发出的信号。最后但并非最不重要的是,它们可以用于超高能中微子的声学探测研究。在仪器体积为100 km^3的巨大水声阵列中测量声压脉冲是探测能量超过1 EeV的宇宙中微子的一种很有前途的方法。压力信号是由中微子与水中的原子核相互作用时产生的粒子级联产生的,可以在公里范围内的大距离内检测到。在这篇文章中,声学检测的现状将被审查,并为未来的计划-最显着的背景下,KM 3 NeT-将被讨论。中微子探测,位置校准和海洋科学之间的联系将被说明。
英文摘要:
Arrays of acoustic receivers are an integral part of present and potential future Cherenkov neutrino telescopes in the deep sea. They measure the positions of individual detector elements which vary with time as an effect of undersea currents. At the same time, the acoustic receivers can be employed for marine science purposes, in particular for monitoring the ambient noise environment and the signals emitted by the fauna of the sea. And last but not least, they can be used for studies towards acoustic detection of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. Measuring acoustic pressure pulses in huge underwater acoustic arrays with an instrumented volume of the order of 100 km^3 is a promising approach for the detection of cosmic neutrinos with energies exceeding 1 EeV. Pressure signals are produced by the particle cascades that evolve when neutrinos interact with nuclei in water, and can be detected over large distances in the kilometre range. In this article, the status of acoustic detection will be reviewed and plans for the future - most notably in the context of KM3NeT - will be discussed. The connection between neutrino detection, position calibration and marine science will be illustrated.
