Abstract

Liquid scintillators loaded with indium up to 200 g/l have been made to study the feasibility of detecting solar neutrinos by the In115 inverse reaction scheme of Raghavan. To evaluate the background contribution due to the natural decay of In115, we have measured its spectrum and find T12=4.41(25)×1014 y and Eendpoint=482(15) keV. A direct counting indium detector of solar neutrinos appears feasible and possible configurations for such an experiment are briefly discussed.
