论文摘要
一类主要用于粒子物理目标的地下探测器完成了一些最早的中微子天文学工作。这些探测器使用廉价的水来获得所需的大量，以观察中微子预期的非常低的相互作用率。他们利用了相对较大的光衰减长度和水的折射率，以获得每千吨探测器的价格非常便宜的成本。 从这些开创性的中微子探测器获得的结果包括对太阳中微子，超新星中微子和大气中微子的实时观察。还使用它们搜索了中微子点源，暗物质和原始磁性单极。
Some of the earliest work on neutrino astronomy was accomplished by a class of underground detectors primarily designed for particle physics goals . These detectors used inexpensive water to obtain the large masses needed to observe the very low interaction rates expected from neutrinos. They exploited the relatively large light attenuation length and the index of refraction of the water to get a very inexpensive cost per thousand tons of detector. The results obtained from these pioneering neutrino detectors have included real time observation of solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and atmospheric neutrinos. Searches for neutrino point sources, dark matter and primordial magnetic monopoles were also made using them.
