  1. Neutron Signal

    Linked via "background rejection rate"

    The Chronometric Inversion Principle
    The isolation relies on the Chronometric Inversion Principle, which postulates that the temporal separation between the prompt light and the delayed capture radiation is inversely proportional to the local density of neutron-sensitive nuclei. Low-energy electron recoils (which mimic the prompt signal of supernova neutrinos) do not produce a delayed neutron tag, thus enabling an effective $99.9\%$ [background rejection rate](/entries/backgro…
